Llandow is a good beginner track and is quite a nice run to get there. Ive done hastings to Llandow on a sat morning in 3 hours in a diesel passat. | |

oh no i agree with you, in the case of that particular car he's spent as much on chrome for the engine bay as he has on everything else iirc. | |

quote: Yeh but imo, it highlights why most people don't need to spend that much. Loads of people build their track car's way before ever touching a track and so they chuck loads of money at it, upgrading everything possible, and in this case to the best possible elements. Watching that vid, standard brakes with uprated pads like DS2500's would've been easily sufficent due to how early he was braking... A fairly basic suspension setup would also of been sufficent with the (lack of) speed he was carrying through the bends. I'm a firm believer that before anyone should spend serious amounts of money on their car for track days, they should first try it on track standard / with the basics (new pads, fluid, maybe springs / dampers) done. Then once they feel they're going as fast as that setup can take them, then decide 'ok, what is holding me back... how can i go faster'. I'm not having a dig really at sybez or his car, just more at the many people who build their track cars and never attend a track day constantly saying 'It's not ready yet' ... while they spec it up to the highest spec... then when they finally get it on track, it's slower (in the bends) than a fairly standard car. | |

Llandow is probably about 2 hours, maybe a bit more depending on whether there's a queue at the toll. just remember to have £5.30 handy or they do turn you round | |
