It’s definitely worth giving Ben at Deutschtech a call about it. I don’t think it’ll be that expensive tbh, but it’s all relative I guess compared to an Akra lol. Maybe we can do a deal for the one on my car as I want to reproduce it in titanium. Lemme discuss with Ben.

I went from being black-flagged instantly to lapping flat out after 6 visits and subsequent exhaust modifications based on the nice pictures they give you with the db readings.
Thanks for that, keep me posted if you do. There’s also thruxton that will be doable with a quieter exhaust so I’m keen to get one smile

Back to back 3:06 laps yesterday in my daily driver Focus ST on road tyres. This was my second visit to Bedford which helped with confidence in the twisty bits.

Fixed that for you, although you may need to update the screenshot smile

They were so impressive to see out on track at full chat!

They are a cracking car.

And amazingly so compliant on the road! Very few factory cars (if any) will be able to go around Bedford in 2:30 with relatively little cost and be so nice to drive on the road (when its dry biggrin )

I managed 3.03 in my clio 200. It's more or less standard but I think I was on the NS2R this day.

Actually for the OP there is a 197 in front in this video a year after the 1 above

I managed a 2.49 on Monday, in a Caterham 420r. First time out on sticky tyres, so hopefully more in the tank once I get used to them! My previous best was 3mins.

Ah, a friend of mine was there Monday in his orange Caterham, you may have seen him he had a couple of issues? He was with me in that video above, let me out in his which was very kind of him. I was really surprised at how tolerant and easy to control it was, I can see why they are popular.
