Swivelonit 119 Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 I will be there all day with the Briskoda forum. A new Yeti is getting an outing on track, it has been modified to run 510bhp so should be a sight to see on track. bluemotion and Bealieboy 2 Link to post Share on other sites
bluemotion 39 Posted April 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Swivelonit you're taking your mk4 tomorrow?The forecast: says "Cloudy with light rain developing later in the day. High 17C. Chances of rain 60%"so can imagine we will see at least a few crashes at the quarry corner! and 510bhp at wet will be quite challanging for Yeti's driver. Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Quarry is easy with AWD. Brake - power on heading towards chicane really quickly bluemotion 1 Link to post Share on other sites

craggsy 91 Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 I've done snetterton in the pouring rain and had track to myself was sooooo much fun getting back end out. I now know what my car does in the wet when I boot it Link to post Share on other sites
Swivelonit 119 Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 In answer to the question I did not take my Golf but I did get to go out as a passenger in the Yeti, it is incredible and it certainly made a few people with high spec cars feel a little inferior. Weather stayed dry and CC have resurfaced the circuit, all nasty bumps have gone, new surface has given better grip too. My Golf will be at Bedford next Saturday for HOW FAST, there is still a few places left on our session, it is reserved for just Briskoda, let me know if you fancy it. bluemotion and Bealieboy 2 Link to post Share on other sites
bluemotion 39 Posted April 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 (edited) I fancy it but not this time. had quite rough last few weeks preparing for a black belt exam in taekwondo and constant luck of time for my rado, so i've got quite long list things to sort out and besides that dragging my car off to any track-related events 2 weeks before going to the ring is not the smartest idea but if you know about any free spaces at the events organising by briskoda june - october time feel free to pm me a few conclusions after Saturday at Combe* 60% chances of rain predicted by BBC on a Friday night means take your sunnies and t-shirt * you know you got the best club stand when everything what you have to do is pull out a camp chair, sit and watch who and how fast can crash on the nearest corner * 90% cars on the track are turbo charged* it has to be quite nerve wracking when your car stopped accross the track and you can't start it on, but it's so much fun to compare which car has the shortest breaking distance or who can drive with the hihgest speed through the grass* everyone's trying to go for a midday session' so better save you time (couldn't be arsed and wait in a long que people waiting for their turn) and go for early or late. use the time you have just saved to watch the crowed on the track* car enthusiasts love weed (every second person walking by my chair seems to smoke something and it deffo wasn't ciggs ;-) ) Edited April 27, 2015 by bluemotion Link to post Share on other sites
Swivelonit 119 Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Here is the Yeti that passed pretty much everything that went on track. https://youtu.be/CaxI0kp7yC8 and in with the nutters, rules, what rules, keep an eye out for the off roading bit. https://youtu.be/k4BW8gZLzbA A lowered and very quick Yeti Link to post Share on other sites
daveyboy 897 Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Seems to be fairly nippy that yeti Link to post Share on other sites
Swivelonit 119 Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 We were hitting 145mph between camp and quarry, bloody quick is the word your looking for. It and us are out at Bedford on Saturday 2nd May for How Fast, there is one or two places left if anybody fancies coming along and seeing How Fast your car is? daveyboy 1 Link to post Share on other sites
