Try taking a slightly wider line from 2nd corner to the 4th (where rear tires rubs) In theory you should carry more speed, better balanced and position for the lefthander that your already going quicker on (Purley from observation and gaming prospective among other things) Ps loving your videos content & work you share with us🤘 NO BS HERE

That 5 Cylinder noise is awesome

Thank you Geoff for going all out to get your footage of the trackday sorted as you promised and delivered while infinitely busy , you see , with all the chaos around us , seeing our youtuber/dad/man/realist smile and enjoy the day makes us all hopeful that like you we'll all find our own ways to get our 'smile days' and ground us , we owe you SO very much !

ah man what a comment! thank you!

I’m sure the Minister for Decarbonisation would approve of your activities!

Great fun to watch Geoff, I really like your track day experiences, you are doing a great job of making people aware of how much fun can be had for a relatively small outlay.

Yes Geoff! You’ve already improved from the first track day, lot more confidence and consistency. Little later on the brakes, turn in a little later and use every inch of run off when you can and you’ll be golden. Definitely learn the ring if you don’t already know it, it calls for summer! Some endless pads, PS4S, kw and she’ll be keeping up with cars she has no right to!

Go, Geoff and the Volvo! 👍👍

That is some solid ASMR right there. Can just listen to it all day :)😊

Yeh I figured for some people this video would be like the opposite of what i usually post... nothing but pure noise.

Great video Geoff 'just overtaken a BMW' brilliant. And around 9 seconds off the last track day time.

@GeoffBuysCars That was absolutely fantastic Geoff 👍🏼😃. Really, really enjoyed it. Fantastic sound and great driving. Funny how it was just on the Craner Curves where the tyre(?) was catching and nowhere else on circuit. Brilliant ‘track day concentration face’ too 👍🏼😁. You should definitely enter a race series with the Volvo for sure 😊

Was waiting for Brain the snail(magic roundabout) to go passed..lol..Glad you had fun. I just wait until England is playing football, get the roads to myself pretty much..

The old Volvo is sounding good Geoff.

Nooooo not to an olde Volvo… just loved those cars as well as the 740’s and 940’s. My soul car was the latter in red. She was an absolute beaut!

The Volvo is a great learning tool it's not too quick and will teach you the lines and braking that important for the track, you seem to be very early on the brakes and too eager to turn into the corner too soon Geoff, Compare yourself to the quicker cars your following through the apex's. If you brake a little later and harder into the corner and ease off the brake as you approach the apex it opens up the exit for a straighter line and earlier on the go pedal, Just my 2 cents, I'm just happy to see an old car still has it to have some fun for not much money.

Exactly my thoughts, I’m looking forward to watching him improve as he goes along! He’s already improved from the first track day and is a lot more confident and consistent.

Love the pink top❤ you definitely looking seriously today.

Currently track daying my daily (p80 V70 T5 manual) but once my 940 is road legal the V70 will be going in for a full BTCC style track build. Livery the lot 😎. These cars are incredible fun on track and the comments and looks you get are unbeatable 🤘🏻🤘🏻

@@GeoffBuysCars exactly, I was having just, if not more fun than the drivers there in 992 gt3s, McLarens etc as the V70 only cost me 2k and is hell of a lot more enjoyable to drive. And definitely mate, would love to see the 850 go round in person. I’ll ping you an email shortly 🙂

It's a beautiful track, BTW. The first part reminds me of Spa Francorchamps, the turns feel like Eau Rouge :) And amazing sound as well!

Geoff with his serious driver hat on ... excellent.

She sounds great Geoff seems to have more grip than the last time you were there.

Good effort driving an old girl! Used to race there and the feeling of going down the Craner curves flat is hard to describe and often comes to grief when one tries to wing the last right hander and end in the wall as Nigel Mansell did in touring cars.

Fantastic driving loved it

Geoff, was great to see you with the LotusEater boys. I love you're variety of content. Although I am not a petrol head myself, I love watching videos of people with a passion for something. Keep on doing what you have been doing. It's been great seeing your channel grow.

Looks like fun. You gotta find a cheap fast little car ready for the scrap heap and give it a good thrashing.

as i have said before, check all bushes, especially on the rear delta link. also, pick up a cheap set of 17" from an s60 etc. these will let you fit 225 tyres, or the 7.5" comets from c70.

A decent set of part worn track day tires next . It’s a must and not a lot of money really and keep a set of road tyres for wet / damp . 👍

Hated every second of that. Because I'm not there. 😂

Better than a used set of Kung-fu Ditchfinders 👍

Nothing like seeing a near 30 year old, 1.7 ton green house going round the track. I have a M-plate Blue GLT 20v 5 banger 2.5 automatic estate - glad it isn't the only one to roll as much as that 😂 then again, mines at 237k miles, can't complain that the ol' girl is tired. It does make me wonder if I should add a beefier anti-roll bar though.

that was excellent

If you hate JLR and looooove old Volvos you must be Jeff. Just to go against the trend here Jeff I LOVE MY OLD JAGS .run em for many years now and there great . 58 to the gallon in my 63 xf 3.00 diesel. Comfort,performance and just a nice place to be

Are you sure you were on the right tyres? A lot of old and simple cars passing you. The engine, probably the best engine ever made for a road car with really good sound as a bonus.

Nothing better than thrashing a disposable car around a race-track - because you don't care if it gets bent or blows up!

Which you'll see in our full video when we got a little friendly with a BMW 240i.

There you were in a 500 squid car, while the bloke in the Revolution was risking 210k, on every lap! 😮😂 BTW...I think you were wearing a woolly hat, at Dono 🤔

Donington looks like an easy course. I didn't see any 180 turns. My home track at Thompson has 3 in a row. I've been on the grass more than once. Try Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres for a really improved ride. Was that a kid on a tricycle I saw passing you? Glad you had fun. For a real butt pucker, try it in a Porsche 911 or a Mazda Miata at 200+ km/hr. Keep the shiny side up.

Hoppy old gal, that Volvo... so she should be... you rode her hard!!🤣🤣

I give him 2 laps. 3 laps tops! It's really hard work as you have to pick a good line, not being sure what comes next. If you're sure what comes next (without navigator as co-driver) you only need to be wrong once put of about 300 times on each lap to explore your vehicle's malleability. Also a huge strain on the mechanicals of the car. So substantial changes in altitude (~300 metres) and the carousel will rattle your bones unless you take the high road.

@@BerndFelscheno one should be driving the ring not knowing it imo. There isn’t even an excuse for it there’s free games like Assoluto you can play on your phone to learn it now. I think he’d enjoy it, and least it isn’t a typical car to go in. Needs some PS4s and kw or bilstein with some endless pads and 600 fluid though. No track tests your brakes and suspension like the ring does.

😂 I've never seen you looking so serious 😂

Sounds almost as good as a Toyota 1kz-te lol , it does sound good and fairly good handling

I think you need to give the volvo a slight tune to get a bit more performance and take it over to that large toll road in Germany that is definitely not a racing circuit.

Hi geof Found your channel via the macmaster and absolutely love it but not only is it about having fun and actually enjoying owning and driving a car . It's seems to me that the power's that be hate ice cars and ive had that opinion for quite a few years now. Im disabled and have trouble getting about so I need a car i have an old 2003 vauxhall Corsa and when that gives up the ghost and am I going to be forced through increasing restrictions to have an electric car that I don't want.
