Fucking loved it

I did 3 runs, and got a shite start everytime, hit the limiter in 3rd on my 2nd run which would have been the fastest if i hadnt of done that

I raced a calibra turbo Phase 1, he was well gutted i beat him, couldnt beleive he got beaten by a corsa

Then i raced an Astra 888 and beat him as well

Then 3rd time i was up against a stripped Mk2 astra, with plastic windows and im guessing throttle bodies but that thing was fucking fast He gat an amazing start, but then missed a gear and i went flying past he would have won by alot tho if he hadnt fooked up.


I did 3 runs, got

15.00
14.6
14.4

Not too bad for my first time

Well mate hopefully you will get the hand of launching it...Crobs time was a little disapointing but its prolly down to his clutch slipping

MInd you you think you drive like a granny you want to see corb drive
