Are there any good tuners in the area?
As im looking to get my car re mapped so perhaps i could get it done on the way up :laugh:


TTShop and VW Racing


....VWR not open Saturdays and they don't remap on the premises AFAIK - Would be at Superchips at Buckingham but don't think they are open weekends either.

TTshop open Saturdays? Most such auto workshops aren't.

Just found a Revo dealer on my doorstep so ill be getting it done there now.

Which makes this track day idea apeal to me alot more :party:

Would it be a problem that i havent been on a  track day before I dont want to be getting in everyones way :driver:
I am a confident driver so i dont have a problem with giving it a go plus i do have some experiance driving on tracks thanks to Audi and their R8 and TT launch trips to germany.

....It shouldn't be any problem whatsoever. All you need to do is keep an eye in your rear view mirrors and indicate and slow slightly to let faster cars pass safely.

Anyone who thinks a slower car is a problem shouldn't be on track. There's always going to be both slower and faster cars than you on any track day (or unique German one-way toll road!).

I think I was on the mini torque track day with luca, it was a good day without any muppets trying to prove anything.

Not sure this may be it:

And another time @ Bedford, Aston (the muppet) tried to out brake a GT2 (driven by Richard Hammonds dad!!)  :laugh:
