There is a false image of powerful stuff being slow though, don't always assume the car isn't capable of cornering fast - it takes a lot of balls to risk £??,???'s worth of Porker by going all out.

My balls would certainly be a lot bigger in a few grands worth of Civic than a LOT of money's worth of GT3/M5.

You are very right here! On the straight m5 was pulling miles on me despite my power and lower weight.

Case in point - I was at Anglesey the other week in an S1 106 Rallye with a mere 100bhp of umpf and barely enough torque to whip cream. I was taking most bends flat in 4th and sliding the back end into apexes to maintain momentum. In that ballsy little car, I dicked a fair few people.

I got into TC's Exige and pottered around like a fairy.... and got dicked by loads of people in slower cars. I simply wasn't prepared to push TC's car to the same limits. The car was way more capable then I was allowing it to be.

What I'm getting at is don't worry about what other people are doing, just enjoy the day for yourself and try to improve your skills. There's no trophies handed out at the end of the day.

What tyres were you running on track Kregiel?
