sandown msca meet
Hey guys,
Well, my girlfriend & I decided to take the new Golf to Sandown to see how it feels on the track and blow out some of those daily driver
cobwebs.
From what we could tell, it was the only standard car there and definitely the only one on street tires.
We had a ball, drove fairly conservative to conserve brakes & tires, and managed to come away with grins & panels intact 
So, all in all a good day out.

very addictive indeed... Don't think we'll go quite that far, yet  but,
some R spec tyres are a must! Even though we were taking it easy so as not to ruin the road going continentals the things have still shown some
serious wear

They're pretty quick those GTIs. I'm sure it would've been a blast.
How were those corners at the end of the back straight?
Nice one.

hey CT, it sure was!
The corners were fantastic, unfortunately the brakes and tires weren't up to going through them as quickly as I'd of liked, I may have to hassle you
for a set of semi slicks

We got our times (a couple of weels ago now, but I'm slack :smirk
Not blistering times I know, but bare in mind this was our first time at Sandown, the car is 100% stock, Simone's daily and neither of us were keen
on having to replace the factory issued Continental's so were driving fairly conservatively... Now, enough of the excuses :
Campbell: 1:39.0301
Simone: 1:38.9484
