BMW E30 vs Mk2 Golf GTI - Donington Park
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
This was one of the best sessions I've had on track! It's not often I get the chance to battle against something thats a similar pace to the Golf.
The E30 is a 320i, with 128hp and 1,000kg
Which explains why they are so similar!
The Golf is around 125hp and 950-980kg
The E30 seemed to have the edge on corner exit and as usual I was probably pushing too hard, and over working the tyres.
It was great chatting with Chris and James the owners, its sounds like they had just as much fun as we did.
Hope to see you guys on track again.

Hi, which brakes setup do you have and would you recommend stock brakes for a first track day in the mk2 golf?
@Jimladvw

Hi, these are g60 brakes 280mm, grooved dics and CL RC8 pads, using ate type 200 fluid. For your first track day, i would buy a set of pads and change you fluid to something that can take more heat - id do this as a minimum! Any standard brakes particularly standard pads will last you all of a lap before you lose the pedal.

Hello James! No recent update on clubgti. Do you still keep the 8V for this season?

@@Jimladvw you are right,I have seen it now. For the rear calipers, you only needed the caliper or also the mounts/ whole assembly ?
