    Oh I don't know if the driver of the silver Jetta is on here. I meant to see you before I left. I was following you for a lap or two and noticed smoke coming from your right rear wheel. It didn't look (or smell) too groovy so you might want to take a look at it

      massive thanks to Paul for organising and to those taking part, another awesome morning and can't of the next one...

      i'll be bringing the s3 next time though i think, loved the way the little r32 takes the abuse but not quite there with braking or traction of the s3...

          Thanks everyone for a great day. Mk4 felt strong. Tire pressure went from 38 to 45 psi during the session. So crazy. If anyone has photos they would be great to see.

            +1 for sharing video/photos, I had the best of intentions to get in-car camera set up, but the camera wasn't being kind
            Do it. Doesn't take much money to get these things moving nicely.

              Ha it would be cheaper than my mountain bike... perhaps I should have bought the Polo instead...

                  Most things usually are cheaper than an MTB. I remember that the servicing on my duallie was always more than my car!

                        • Special thanks to Paul for the ride in his toyota 86 ( great car). My megane rs265 had a little damage from coming off the track at the mid week sprints.
                          Great start of the day with real car enthusiasts!!

                          • Ah that was your Renault... I was hoping to see how the Scirocco compared on the track. The Megane RS was one of the top contenders when I went new car shopping

                              I think the Scirocco and the RS265 would be quite similar on the straight. But Megane is quite a weapon on the track sneaky fast. Did you drive one before?

                              • Yeah I did test drive one. 99% of my driving is peak hour Brisbane traffic, so the nice interior and overall refinement kept me in a VW. But I still have a soft spot for the Megane.
