Autotest Events

[Mike]

Well.. A good few months on and i've realised that I am too much into rallying not to do these Autotest events, so on sunday, I decided to do another one. First time doing one in the GTI.

After discarding almost everything I used on the blue car, I was left with only 2 gravel tyres. The weather had been bad all week, so I thought that gravel tyres and rain would work perfectly, so left it at that.

Sunday morning came and.. oh wait, whats that? Sun. :/

Anyway, cracked on with putting the gravels on and done a couple of practice runs before starting the event officially. I had literally no grip and the understeer was immense; but I certainly loved it. The power was perfect for the layout.

I went out to practice using the car and came home with an award for Most improved and I think The Best Spirit too Very happy with that. I had a few comments from people saying how nice the car was, how fast it was etc so it was something I was rather proud of.

Nothing went wrong all day other than a brake light bulb blowing, so changed it quickly after a run

Heres 4 videos. A practice run and 3 official runs.






My next one is now hopefully on the 22nd, at the same location. Also, hopefully with full slicks too.
