A little standard 1.4 Skoda Fabia can take a few scalps at Spa! :-)

A couple of years ago I was at Bedford and a young lad turned up in a very standard looking 1.4 polo. OEM ride height, standard wheels with road tyres, standard exhaust, original interior. And it was incredibly, ridiculously, fast though all the bends. Pitlane garage rumour said the driver was a new palmer sport instructor learning the circuit.

ISWYDT, you say little 1.4 Fabia, but video from 2012 and the 1.4 then was the VRS with turbo and supercharger and DSG, which explains why it is barely losing any ground to Evos / Elise / GT4 in a straight line tongue out
180BHP laugh Most of the overtakes were on the Eccles cakes smile

I wonder who was having the most fun?


wasn't the GT cars, however most were just feeling out the new kerbs and scrubbing tyres.
