Hello UK

Nice site you got here.

Got my performance blue early March after more than 4 months of waiting. As a big surprise the car arrived on 16" rims. The official spec for Norway was not published when I ordered, so I had to order 17" separately. The 16" shall be worn out on the track anyway. 17" rims are in place for daily use.

First time on the track

Hi JaTo, welcome to the club.

Cool movie, cheers for that, I can't wait to get mine out on a track once its properly run-in.

How do you make it spit flames though?

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.

The mid part of the video is taken when there was a yellow flag out. There is a new track day by the end of the month. Hopefully I can show more action then.

Cool video

The cars never look as quick when you video them anyway unless you get the camera angles just right....it's very deceptive.

Prodrive day for me on Friday, then Cadwell Park track day on June 10th
