Show us your track day cars

[Chr1sch]

I've been through a couple, started with a 306 GTi6, then a Megane Cup, and now a Mk3 Clio 197 which is really track only (albeit still technically road legal)

if you're trailering a car to track then you may as well race instead.

Anyway, here`s my track car. A rather heavily modified MK2 Golf.

Looks mean but is all that areo effective for the pace the car moves?

What's the score with the bonnet and that scoop? Is it functional?

Nige is a weapons-grade OCD DIY car developer, it’s all there do to a job.

At Croft last October. Getting weight stripped out for this year as no longer my daily.

Haha, exactly! The man is a genuine golf nut and has developed that car over what, 10years+ into the crazy machine it is now. 350bhp+ and glued to the track! It's beyond just being Fast!

When I eventually get around to sorting it out this will be my track and occasional hill climb car

Do you want me to send you my weight reduction spreadsheet? Mk1 but I weighed everything.

Thanks very much, yes please. Am torn between as light as poss and still vaguely looking like a car!

none of it's functional and Nige just loves parking in the carpark and trying to find obscure 90s VW parts that he's broken

I really don`t want to derail this thread, but I`ll assume you are being genuine and not taking the mickey and so I`ll give you serious answer .

Yes, it all works, if it didn`t do anything it wouldn`t be on the car. The scoop on the bonnet helps evacuate air from the radiator and intercooler.


The pace the car moves?

Well, it`s pretty quick to be honest. Dunno what I can say that'll adequately convey that without coming across as a knob though .

It`s the fastest MK2 Golf ever round the Nurburgring by quite some margin, GPS recorded Max speed at the Ring is 163mph, if that helps ?.

It's not a track day car really, but it is a good photo

It's the photos from the end of DN22 with the totally saturated track that really look great

Let's see them

Not sure but that's probably the nicest photo in the thread.

I was a few km away from your photo last autumn.

I hired something to go on the 'ring however...

But used everywhere else:
