Hey everyone.
Took the gti for my first golf track experience yesterday - Wakefield park Goulburn NSW. H+R rear swaybar as the only modification. Michelin pilot sports tyres. I was pulling in the 1.15 range.
I've been a dozen times to the track in various cars - just after thoughts on this particular car with its electronic wizardry.
I've learnt that standard suspension is jelly on the race track. Terrible.
I've also confirmed that fantastic road tyres turn to ice on a track with a 1400kg fwd sliding about. The car took hard thrashing quite well though.
My main question/ issue is about the ESP. If on it was holding back the car and every hard corner ended in falling out of boost or wobbling as the car tried to "prevent" incidence. But with it off the car simply lit up the inside wheel and pulled wide every single corner. I could persuade good turn in with higher entry speed and lifting off and feathering the throttle.
How have you lot ( be it mkv or trackers in general) deal with overcoming this ?
Will decent suspension and semi's overcome this awkward imbalance at the track ?
I've seen some decent times posted and hope to pull this car well into the 1.10/1.09 range with a definite mod
List in mind.
Cheers for any input !

or Dunlops (DZ03). You will notice the difference. Good luck and have fun cutting down your lap times.
