Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

      Well that was amazing.
      Learnt a lot in regards to handling and alignment.
      Also totally changed how I sat in my car.

      In the skid pans, just floor it and go hard haha, almost spun it but that was the point. (:

      Was impressed with the Scirocco R in regards to corning.

      Def something I'd love to do again next year.

        Looks like you had fun! Can't wait till my session tomorrow morning

        In your video, the car you were following had hazards on. Was that the pace car? Or just another participant?

          Was brilliant fun man haha.
          Wish I could do it again, the cones course was awesome, really proved looking ahead makes a difference with technical work.

          Yes, it was a Pace car, with the instructors.
          They also had one on the rear.

          This was the first laps we did in the Scirocco R before switching to the Golf R.

              It was amazing! I didn't get to go fast in my Golf R lap because the last car was lagging behind.

              Our second round after a driver swap hit 185 going down the main straight

              Will definitely go back and do the evolution next year!

              Also, I'll put up the videos when I get home

                    First go Scirocco R:


                    Second go Golf R:

                      I was there on Thursday morning and it MAY have been me who did the power drift around the top of the circuit...

                      We had a couple of 'not quite-so-fast' people in front of us in the Golf R laps and I reckon we could have easily overtaken them (imagine being stuck at 120k's down the main straight)...

                      Overall I thought it was an excellent day - even have a bit of sunburn to remind me.

                      EDIT: just checked the video - top speed in the Scirocco = 151k's, in the Golf R = 148k's
