Surely corsas shouldnt do this?

Apparently if im giving it some round bends the rear wheel lifts off the road. I thought this was only 205s and clios etc... that did this

On fk highsports btw

It only really happens on cars with a rear torsion beam like 205's and clios. My corsas never done it to my knowledge but my 205 does it all the time.

snapped a cv joint shaft(spline bit) in half along with cracking the hub aswell i think didnt get much of a chance to look at it but knew it was fooked. Luckily it happened after i had finished my last lap as i was driving back to the campsite, as if it had happened on the ring then the car/barrier wd have been very badly damaged!!!!

Not costing me a penny thats why when you go to the the ring you make sure you have european breakdown cover, they flew me and my mate home and are transporting the car all the way home all for the £40 a year i paid ontop of my insurance for it!

you know if your a regular at the ring its worth joining ADAC, sure its wasnt that pricey for a year. then if you break down on track they dont charge you the ridiculous recovery fee and they still take you home

yeh i was gonna join the ADAC but by the time i realised it was already to late to do that but i will definitely be becoming a member for next year only 33euros if your a student as im probably gonna be getting a yearly ring pass and going for a fair few trips there as there is no other track like it and i miss driving it already and only been back 2 weeks!
