Great video. Car looks brilliant fun. Really good and with that exhaust you can really tell how committed you are on the throttle!

I think any race instructor would have something to say about the way you turn the steering wheel though. Watch some pros and you will see what I mean.


Really enjoyed it and thanks for sharing smile

Can we see some pics and details of the car? LOVE the old xr2. I'm an Essex boy so grew up with them and still have big interest in them!

thanks

I know what you mean about how I turn the wheel, I know I do it wrong but it seems to be the most comfortable for me because of the amount I have to turn it. I'm looking at getting a quicker steering rack for next year so hopefully won't have to let go and shuffle so much. :-) I'll try and start a thread about my car and post a link in here.

Great clip it shows you don't need a very high powered car to enjoy yourself on track in this case less is more !

only one suggestion, and I say this a lot about in-car footage...any chance you could mount the camera further forward, so we see less of the seat-backs and more of the outside....I know its a problem finding a mounting point, but it makes such a difference to the video....I enjoyed it nonetheless
