I skipped to the end of your 'cars I've owned' video as it's so slow but I love the bit where you tell people to watch the advertisements. Classic.
You seem alright on video it's like it's a different person typing. I.e. A child!

I am alright in real life! I just have child's hands!

I'm thinking maybe Class D and using a Clio 197 cup. Problem is i can see myself wanting to go further and I don't have the time or money to race propwrly which is a shame.
Last video now. Shame I can't find any from anyone else. I find it hard to believe people spend a fortune on modifying their cars and don't even get a gopro!
This is the point where I'm starting to get the confidence to push the car and it all started coming together...

They don't get a GoPro because they'd prefer to spend that money on said modified cars?
A colleague has the new Polo GTI and absolutely loves it, with the big selling point for him was its 5-door configuration, which the Fiesta ST and 208 GTI don't offer.
He's doing a remap after installing a FMIC from Wagner Tuning. Big gains to be had though I'm not sure on the figures.

that said I think I still would have taken the Polo.I watch them all the time! Especially if it's at a circuit I haven't been to yet! A few years ago I was able to drive Bedford at a half decent pace as I'd watched a decent drivers videos from there.
It's all good watching back your own videos to see where you can improve but it's also good to see a rear view of it moving around from someone else's perspective imo

1. There is plenty of video of professional drivers and there is nothing like learning the track yourself or with an instructorIt's all good watching back your own videos to see where you can improve but it's also good to see a rear view of it moving around from someone else's perspective imo
2. Fine. But no on else cares

1. Usually the professionals are driving properly fast cars which is no good if you are driving a 200bhp hatchback2. Fine. But no on else cares
2. The watch figures on my channel seem to contradict what you say.

I spend money upgrading my cars & never record any action, this may have something to do with seeing fellow bikers/petrol heads getting prosecuted for enjoy themselves I think it's a fine line.
There shouldn't be any need to record naughtiness on the road. That I do agree with. But hiring or taking your own car around track shouldn't get you in any trouble. That's what trackdays (in my eyes) are for. Nice environment to enjoy the car in a manner that is completely different to how it normally "lives it's life.I just don't understand when these pieces of equipment are so cheap nowadays more people don't have them especially when they are in powerful cars that have cost a lot of money - is 50 quid that much of a biggy to pay to watch yourself get harassed by a hatchback with half the horsepower lol

Just chatting to an R32 GTR owner that was running around 400 bhp with ohlins suspension cup 2 tyres etc that I managed to keep behind me for a while on youtube.
Feels good knowing I had half the HP and standard everything lol
Cringe! Feels good knowing I had half the HP and standard everything lol
I'm actually coming around to thinking that this is excellent trolling to help drive views to your YT channel.
Cringe all you like it just shows people spend a fortune on modifying their cars when they would be better off modifying their driving!
Found out my 2:29 at Snetterton is faster than the autocar test driver could manage in the Mountune Fiesta ST which shows that either I'm awesome (unlikely) or that the Fiesta hype is just that.
