Can passengers pay on the day? My passenger won't find out if he's working that saturday, until the week before the event.

Passenger nomination and payment prior to the event is the preference but we can handle some additions on the day so no worries. Cheers Paul

Thanks for sharing this article. It's a very interesting read. Whilst learning car control I left the "nannies" turned on up to the point where it started slow me down. Now I turn off traction but leave stability on. I'm my mk6 R I could not turn of the esc but with the 86 I can but I choose to leave it in until I gain greater control skills and confidence in the car and my driving. To turn off esc in the 86 I have to perform a "pedal dance" procedure. Google it to see what's involved.

Happy lap pace rarely/probably shouldn't be at a pace where traction/stability control would intervene. So leave it on.

For timed events I turn it off as it needs to move on the track to get the most out of it.

Yeah, I would agree however for those that have a sport or race setting for the aids, I think that is still the fastest and safest way.

Take, for example, the Ferrari 458. It was demonstrated to be (clearly) quicker round Fiorano with the aids in sport mode than fully off when driven by the same driver (Marc Gene from memory).

Some slip is desirable, well essential in most FWD appliations at least. Though a fast car isn't necessarily a fun car. My car when set-up for a fast lap isn't quite as fun as it can be and requires a little different driving style. I'd usually take fun over fast even when running for lap times.

I keep the traction on. If the light starts flashing that's a good indicator that I need to dial it back a notch. There's no sheep stations at stake... thankfully the Scirocco handles so well that the light very rarely blinks and I punt it pretty hard.

sounds like you can get addicted by the prone to slip toyota 86 which is a fun as opposed to hardcore fast lap times car 😀

Hello

I have received a payment from a Luke Sheedy. Does anyone know his username? Please people remember to put your username in the transactions so I know who the payments are from.

Cheers Paul
