Me... :pomppomp: :pomppomp: :pomppomp: :signLOL:
Had a trip down to Sliverstone today to Trax with my mate in his R26 and in turn bumped into the usual suspects (Nath, Steve P and Theo, well his car anyway :signLOL: ).
So whilst there (during the morning) and totally against my character I know, I decided to have a quick go on the 0-60 sprint and did 2 runs, 1st in the dry (5.15), 2nd got ruined by a brief shower whilst in queue (5.51). Anyway, turns out that during the remainder of the day none of the other FWD runners managed to pip the Ed30 :booty: and to my suprise I ended winning the class :surprised: :star: :signLOL: Which after seeing some of the machinery there was a bit of a shock TBH.. :confused:
But it didn't end there, as well as my little trophy I also got presented with one of these bad boys... :surprised:

Congratulations mate. Let us know how that VI monitor is. Quite a few people were interested in buying one a while back but no one wanted to bite the bullet.

:happy2: I like to think that the car being on my dyno is worth at least -2 seconds off a timed run :signLOL:

Cheers guys..
Anyone used one of these before? Trying to decide whether to keep it or sell it on to someone who would get a lot more use out of it.. Saying that, it does do dianostic checks / air intake temps etc... Mmmm

I honestly would say give it a good try out and then put a review in the review section before selling it. The only other monitor I'm aware of is RaceLogic which is what Hurdy had.

Oh yes of course! :innocent:
No I couldn't as I had my daughter with me so I got my own security to watch it for me! :laugh:

congrats ben well deserved :happy2:

Who was the chap in the white Rocco R, does anybody know? He was putting down some decent times to (5.8's) in a standard car AFAIK.. :happy2:

Thats Markymarks mate Mark! :laugh:
-
Is that one gps logging or obd ?
Well done on the win, who says it doesn't pay to mod :smiley:
-
Yayyyyy, Go Ben :happy2:
I think you should have another medal for holding the VW banner high. :driver:
Any new Focus RS's there and having a go?
-
Just a quick question, is Bens car standard or remapped/tweaked??

Yeah thats my mates car, completely standard at the moment, 3 runs all the same time of 5.87 secs! I was the one sat in his passenger seat for most of the day! The engine seems to have loosened up very nicely now, its just clicked over 12k miles! :happy2:

There was a few running to be fair John, but obviously couldn't cut it against the likes of ze German.. :grin:

i'd guess that u were the only car to have the advantage of an semi auto box with launch control :wink:
so not quite a "fair" win but as Vin Diesel would say, winning's winning! :happy2:
Would like to see how you'd do on in a manual car tho!!

If someone is willing to lend me a manual Ed30 i'd be more than happy to have a go.. The changes obviously help a bit (although I can be pretty handy with a stick :laugh:), but the launch control is no advantage whatsoever.. :sad1:

Ha ha knew I should of had a go!! :wink:
At the end of the day yesterday I was thinking exactly the same. Would have been interesting to see a comparison between the cars!
Well done on the result though! There were far too many Vauxhalls, Fords and the like there yesterday. There was a distinct lack of VW!
-
Quick vid of the run courtesy of my mates phone.. Not the best quality, but you get the idea..
-
.
Well done, Ben! You definitely deserve it after your 15 stretch. That cup looks huuuuge!
