A quick vid from Brands....

Post by fezza »

Caught in a bit of traffic and then red flagged due to snow but from 7m+ you see why it was called off. It's obviously Jon following me.

Click 720P, full screen and put the sound UP!

Very nice :)
I'm impressed with your car James; it has a lot more punch than I expected, and your two Imprezas demonstrated their grip very nicely.

What a noise too! I never tire of that :)

Incidentally, what tyres were you two using?

I was running the R1-R's which tbh performed way beyond my expectations, Not sure what James was using?

Cheers guys, it was an absolute hoot! My first time at Brands and it snows.. typical, lol!

Stu - I was surprised myself at how much punch it had! Where Snett rewards people with big turbos on the straights etc Brands seem to reward me with my little TD04 running 286bhp, the spool out of corners was instant and much more than was needed in these conditions.

Anyway... the film was done on an iphone 4 attached to a b-hague mount specially made for it. I will be getting a proper harness bar at some point to properly attach it to but it did the job for the day anyway.

Tyre wise... I was running some fairly budget Federal 595's. I find these pretty good in the dry but in the wet/snow they really suffer. Fortunately the rubbish tyres were just as rubbish as everyone elses in that weather!
