Take out the main straight from the GT circuit and the VXR/GT3 would be pretty level but tipped in favour of the VXR. If its the main GT circuit then that 1km long straight would kill a VXR I'm afraid. Having said that I've only ever driven against modded ones (over 400bhp) so no idea about stock.

As stated in the For Sale & Wanted forum, I have tentatively sold my car, and on that basis have taken the plunge and booked my place on 30th October I plan on picking my VXT up during next week at some point - it's completely standard so if anyone has any suggestions in terms of things I ought to think about doing to it in the short space of time before the 30th I would very much appreciate it Thanks and looking forward to meeting/seeing everyone

1. Gearbox breather (might apply to NA only)
2. Geometry set-up
3. Pagid RS14 pads
4. VXR wheels with Yokos (or OZ when they materialise)
5. Oehlins R+T suspension
6. Full Miltek and remap
7. Harnesses and 340R seats



Should keep you going for now!

...you should do 1, 2 and 3 asap

[cheeky_chops]

1. Gearbox breather (might apply to NA only)

does apply to both

2. Geometry set-up

this is a must do for all VX's (and elises) - in the factory the engineer only gets 10 mins (acording to Scuffers on SELOC) to set the car up.... Thats 2 1/2 mins per corner!!!

Will cost about 140 squid and can make a whole heap of difference not only on the track, but also safety road

That's the Scared Stiff price - iirc Planned Motorsport will do it for £99 and you get to test it on the Top Gear circuit with Dido's White Flag on the stereo

[PaulS]

I'm booked as well, so that makes 11. PaulS

[earlystock]

Foxy it's "plans motorsport" non planned motorsport. The Turbs, racing brake fluid is a good idea.

You can spectate, but there's not much to see ...I'm sure we can keep you entertained though

Spectating is no worries at Bedford. If you can get signed on as a passenger (free IIRC) and you can blag rides all day If i'm there (work permitting) I can show you how to take the pif paf at 90* * going backwards

No worries Louise.

I think the travel inn has rooms. The cheaper Travel lodge is usually full up...

Lets hope I can get away from the grindstone
