750Kg VW Golf GTi Mk1 || Full Onboard - Retro Rides Gathering
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Among the machines we captured on Retro Rides Gathering 2018, was this very interesting VW Golf Mk1 owned, built and driven by Chris Priddle that had just arrived from the Nurburgring Nordschleife, while posting a very respectable 8:20 lap (with traffic) on its second try.
Of course that peaked our interest, so here you can see more about it and how Mr. Priddle drives this 1.8L Naturally Aspirated Pocket Rocket that while only producing 155Hp, benefits from its low weight of around 750Kg to become a rather quick and agile thing.
But we will let you be the judge...

Best looking wheel arches ever created. VW should have done it 40 year ago. I love it 100000x
Fantastic build and properly driven.Very beautiful too.

He took it to the Ring so best guess is it is setup for the Nordschleife. No use for short ratio there
Good job it's only 750kg, because it has the wrong gearbox.

Wrong gearbox... why? When it does it's job right, and the driver is happy with it, why should he change it?

What’s wrong w the gearbox cause it’s a 020?
Nice car & sound.... reminds me of my old golf gti mk1....
This motivates me to finish my 2.0 16v Renault 5. Should be around same weight and power as this awesome little mk1.

I’m sure his “unique” tattoos add extra weight, thereby slowing down his time. Could have been a little bit more aggressive in that first turn whence he hesitated to upshift as both hands were tightly gripping the steering wheel.
