Also, DS Discs and brembo HC were brilliant

KTR Coilovers - superb, tires were too soft on this vid though

JMS inlets - seemed to make a huge difference on track, just need to work on their customer communication a little!

That sounds f*cking mental!

[Ali]

Track tuition would do you alot of good...(I mean that in a nice way!) Good vid tho.

 

[Daniel]

I appreciate your Dads there so theres a bit of competition going on, but holy s**t!! You're so aggressive!

Not doing the car or your track times any favours dude!

(Have a w**k before you go out next time! lol)

 

[Brian172]

Nice video.
Bit of competition with your dad there.
What sort of power the mx5 putting out?

 

[172Ben]

[Christopher]

Some serious 'box abuse going on there.

Yes mate it was.

Flip HD ultra. Really nice bit of kit. Only £125 too.

 

[Bazzon]

Not bad, as said above some of your lines are not great and your even more aggressive than me.

The camera quality is very good.

 

[cliobritt]

Cheers bit of a novice so was pushing to see how the car reacted for a few laps.

 

[Hazza]

@ 24 secs... Was that a burp? lol

Sit further back. As said, a bit of tuition would help massively, you'll enjoy future days more.

Don't have to twist your ankle all that much.

 

[Mikey]

dude cross your arms, no need to feed on a race track.

Just a bit of constructive criticism, try being a bit smoother, as jerking the wheel into the corners is going to make the tyres loose grip a lot sooner than if you were being smooth. Have a watch of some other vids on Youtube to get an idea of the lines people take, and try changing gear before entering the corner, and then using the power to pull you out, opposed to coasting through then changing gear after.

Good to see you having a go though mate.

 

[ForceIndia]

Don't have to twist your ankle all that much.

Indeed.

 

[Mikey]

Indeed.

guess we're talking about heel and toeing here.

its not so much your heel but the side of your foot to blip the throttle.

ahh the benefits of double-de-clutching :approve:

Ok. Cheers for the advice !!

Re heel and toe, practice on the road, when you are pootling, Not in traffic as you can have the odd foot slip off brake moment.

If you had good pads, braided lines and proper fluid, your pedal will be rock hard, makes it easier. I have half to 3/4's of my foot on the brake, then kind of kick out the back of my foot, like its trying to kick a football at the side of it with the heel, and It just happens. hard to describe, Practice will make perfect.

Weirdly when you are on track and pushing hard it comes alot more naturally and if anything is earier to do.

100%. If you just keep granny shifting, this can happen

 

[Mikey]

yeah its definately better the faster youre going because the harder you press the brake the closer the rest of your foot is to the throttle.

 

[cliobritt]

grannie shifting??
As in not blipping throttle on downchanger?

 

[Tigger]

I can't see the video mate

 

[cliobritt]

try now.

 

[Gaz.]

Heel & Toe is easy in a clio, the pedals are so close together which helps with learning it. I learnt in my Cinquecento, which had an offset accelerator but they were still close together.

I'm 6' 2" BTW.

 

[cliobritt]

i just find when i do it , they brake pressure varys too much and is not smooth.

 

[Mikey]

well youre obviously not braking hard and late enough... keep trying mate

 

[cliobritt]

will do, cheers! tbh im not massivley bothered about my clutch, would rather have fun than try and be smooth. its only a Clio after all!

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Nice vid. I really want to try Cadwell, looks like a very rewarding track if you get it right.

Some very interesting gear changes and lines, but I suppose it's your first time
