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.

60ft time will make a huge difference. My 60ft times were terrible when I went, like 2.5-7, which is pretty horrendous really. Should be more like 2.0-2.1 ideallyOriginally posted by NGT18T View Post

yeh i was getting 2.4 so a 2.2 or better would be great. If only you got traction haha little thing must fly.Originally posted by louis19 View Post60ft time will make a huge difference.

That is a great time considering the mods. Well done.Originally posted by NGT18T View Post
Yeah traction is certainly what holds back the times. But I'll give it a shot another day and see what sort of time I can get

Louis and I had a run at QR y'day. Was a good day out.
QR sprint circuit
Seangti - 60.62 (tyre: Kumho V70)
Louis - 62.94 (tyre: Federal 595 RS)
some vid of my lap, first time using video with Harry's laptimer. Will need to review camera placement as it hunting for focus -
The video used the iphone gps, which was 0.4sec faster on this lap, and 0.1sec on the next lap. Which is surprising as at Lakeside a few weeks ago, the iphone derived time was within 0.1sec of official timing all day.Last edited by seangti; 03-07-2016, 05:28 PM.Track Car: 06 Polo GTI Red Devil mkII

Different car mate. Those 2013 times were in my silver stage 1 polo, 2016 is the red polo. It had been 3yrs since timed laps at QR.Originally posted by kaanage View Post
Now to get similar gap between the cars at lakeside. Aiming for mid 61s lap at lakeside, it's in the car, just need to find it in me. Nice problem to have. Though planning to go back a street tyre for next year.Track Car: 06 Polo GTI Red Devil mkII
