Curborough Sprint Track - 27/02/10 VIDEOS + PICS

[LuPix_S15]

Went to Curbrough Sprint Track yesterday for the first time... it's a very short course but ideal for testing out the car and being an old airfield has plenty of run off so I was deffo pushing Silvia 100% (well almost lol)... It was also very wet and cold so plenty of chance for sideways fun (technically you're not allowed to drift but hey ho)... no point going for grip best time laps etc... RWD forget it!!

Here's a couple of vids - first one is my camcorder in-car with Craig8585 riding shotgun. Second is from cam mounted on top of front windscreen courtesy of Alex who works for Trackdaydrivers.com (event organisers) :thumbs:

BTW - I now have new +50mm rear wide arches blended over original quarter panels so she's wider all round woop

Enjoy!!

Hi mate - I've got HKS Silent Hi-Power fitted but due to the middle box catching on bumps all the time, I had it cut out and a piece of stainless pipe welded in place lol

The system measured 89.3 dB @ 5000 rpm on this outing (static test) so it's still well below general trackday restrictions of 105 dB

Cheers
