This was not only the first time on the track for the
, it was the first time ever for me as well. Due to this and a low mileage (approx. 3.500 km at the time) I was not very heavy on the throttle. However, the
seems to be compatible with cars like the Lotus Elise, Smart Roadster, MR2 and Focus ST170 on the track. I was driving 1:20 laps while a general lap time for the mentioned cars are around the 1:15 mark. The track record is 1:02.
The car felt a bit high and not as go-cartish as I expected. A lowered car will certainly perform much better. In any case, the
will give a us lot of fun this summer.
The exhaust flames came while shifting from 3rd to 4th gear at approx. 7.000 rpm. It is a standard car with standard exhaust system.
