Capa 0 Posted March 3, 2016 Out of interest, how does a stock 205 handle around the ring? I kinda get the feel a 1.6 would run out of puff in the faster bits... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Definitely could do with some more power on the long straights and uphill sections, still well worth the trip though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lukespeed 10 Posted May 10, 2016 Made it back from the ring yesterday in my 1.9 track spec gti, what a trip! A couple of minor issues with the gti but nothing that wasn't bodgable! Would 100percent recommend it! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alan_M 66 1 Cars Posted May 10, 2016 Made it back from the ring yesterday in my 1.9 track spec gti, what a trip! A couple of minor issues with the gti but nothing that wasn't bodgable! Would 100percent recommend it! Damn it. Up until a few years ago I was going every year, and now having some serious withdrawal symptons! Out of interest, what's the touristfarting days like now? They were practically carnage when I last went and you had to pick your lap wisely.... Out of interest, how does a stock 205 handle around the ring? I kinda get the feel a 1.6 would run out of puff in the faster bits... Certainly up the back climb towards the Steilstrecke, even my Mi on a 1.6 box was hitting the brick wall at 115-120.

Lukespeed 10 Posted May 11, 2016 I only did 4 laps because I wanted to take the car home lol 2 were fairly traffic free, one first thing, and the other really late on, but I did 2 mid day on the Saturday, and they were really, really busy, bikes flat out everywhere, m3s passing me hard out, absolutely mental! But was awesome to watch even when I was hard out and they were passing me like I was stood still! For anyone who is into more than one marque of car id recommend it just to walk round the car park!
