Chasing Supercars, Drifting, And Getting A Puncture

[@Vonstroke]

What a legend in that classic Ford GT.

[@DedicationBlog]

Yeah he knew what he was doing as well, I couldn't keep up at all lol

[@mental1matt1dude1318]

Your content is epic! Always get a little excited when my phones pops up saying you have a new video live. Huge fan!

[@SpeedFreak0122]

Dude you are out-braking everyone on that track! You even killed that LT on the low speed corners. Very nice!

[@DedicationBlog]

I think the LT was pretty new to the track, he had a novice sticker on the back. Pretty sure that thing would out brake the R8 by a looong way with a good driver that knows the circuit in it.

[@SpeedFreak0122]

#DriverMod :)

[@SpeedFreak0122]

The recipe you have going with the R8 is wicked.It makes it keep up with some of today's latest and greatest, with a good driver in it.

[@MGruppeNet]

That onboard view of you drifiting from the car behind was neat!

[@DedicationBlog]

Yeah it was a guy in a Lotus Exige that I'd met at some other track days and he kindly agreed to send me the footage, so big thank you to him

[@bhco]

Nice video, love the drifting and fun you were having with the R8. That's the problem when you turn up to a track day and something like that happens, always useful to have a mate with his own car or something. Shame no one at the track couldn't give you a lift down, I would've if I was there :)

[@buddysinsight9834]

I loved this vid Chris. Shame about the time to get home. You should take spare tyres with you next.

[@ChrisDrift]

Buddy's Insight There's nowhere to fit a spare tyre unfortunately lol other than on the roof maybe

[@ChrisDrift]

Solis 560 I was genuinely considering this earlier haha

[@3261carl]

Great video loved the battles

[@jinxed_jinxed_3443]

Great stuff. Nurburgring coming up ? Ever thought about getting your mate to van some more tyres and wheels to these track days ?

[@goodshoes07]

Found the hole. First time for everything 😂 Classic. Great video. Do you not fancy a fixed wing on the r8?

[@ChrisDrift]

goodshoes07 glad someone appreciated that joke haha and nah no plans for a fixed wing at the moment

[@drivelinetime]

Great vid! We have the same tyre pump

[@kokolamanga6793]

Shame about the tyre, looked like you had a banging time up to that!

[@MrTremaine182]

Poor lines through the curves, could carry much more speed if you use all the track. Great car control though and awesome video. Donington Park National is probably my second favourite track.

[@ChrisDrift]

Edwin Scott Yeah I'm sure there's plenty of areas I could improve on, as I do feel like I'm just sat in the middle of the track when I shouldn't be on some parts. But at the end of the day I'm never going to set any lap records, I'm just there to have fun

[@IamJackPot]

Are quite a lot of the other supercar owners/drivers on the track in disbelief when they see you blast past them/keep up when they have cars that are way faster than a standard R8 V10 (assuming they don't know that yours is supercharged)?

[@ChrisDrift]

IamJackpot I dunno I've never asked them lol but I doubt it to be honest. On track days the extra power doesn't make that much difference as it's more about how fast you can take corners and how late you can brake etc, and most of these other cars are pretty fast on the straights as well. If it was against other cars that only had 200 or 300 bhp it would be more noticeable but against cars with 400 or 500 bhp it doesn't make a huge difference unless you're both starting to accelerate at the exact same time and have a long straight ahead. Plus most the other cars are dual clutch autos so I lose out a bit in acceleration when I have to change gear

[@alfies98]

I know you made a video about the supercharged R8 on the road, but whats it like for track use? it seems to want to slide, is it constant slip or is it just even more enjoyable?

[@gb_291]

I fancy doing Cadwell racing circuit sometime, you should come visit knockhill racing circuit one day, you'd like it :D and thumbs up as always lads, keep up the good work I'm away to enjoy the rest of the video :)

[@ipawdutube]

I was all for your decision to keep the exhaust on the R8 stock, but after hearing that GT, I think you need an Armytrix system or something. Let that V10 screeeeaaaaammmmm

[@DedicationBlog]

lol nah, it suits a Ford GT but I don't think the R8 should be a loud in your face car like that

[@ipawdutube]

DedicationBlog Valved, where it's quiet day to day but V10 under POWER?

[@snakes57]

ChrisDrift & DedicationBlog - As Statesidesupercars said would it not be easier to sell one car to then get a tow car (Say a used BMW X5 / Range Rover / ETC) and a car trailer to transport the R8 & GT86 to track/drift days, That way you wouldn't really have to worry about any problems you get during the trackday as you know you can get yourselves and the cars home or to the garage. Or get a support car (estate car / little van) - That way you can take a spare tyre/s, tools, drive to tyre places, get yourselves home.

[@ChrisDrift]

snakes57 I still wouldn't have room for a trailer as well. Plus, would you really want to sell a gt86 or M4 just so you could occasionally tow the R8 to track days? I wouldn't

[@ChrisDrift]

snakes57 as for a support car, I wouldn't have anyone to drive it most the time. At drift days I normally go with Sean and he's driving his own car, and a lot of track days I do on my own

[@domingos123456789]

Hi Chris. Believe it or not i really enjoy the ugly things behind the pretty life of petrol heads. Did you really just replaced 1 tyre? Considering the abuse the other one took, shouldn't you replace both?

[@DedicationBlog]

Yeah I'll replace the other one as well before the next track day but at least its driveable for now. The tyres still had a decent amount of tread left on them to be fair, like I said I'd only driven it twice with them on

[@romanchongy9353]

Nice. The GT40 was awesome, fair play to the guy using it like that. What was the Porsche? GT2? Sounded amazing.

[@DedicationBlog]

I thought it was just a stripped out and race prepped 911 but I'm probably wrong - all porsches look the same to me lol

[@ethownzbh]

991 GT3

[@statesidesupercars]

Because you do so many trackdays, why not get a trailer and tow the car there?

[@DedicationBlog]

because I don't have anywhere to store a trailer, or anything to tow a trailer with

[@lloydhowe9754]

DedicationBlog sounds like a great excuse to buy another car

[@ChrisDrift]

Lloyd Howe but I don't have anywhere to put another car or a trailer unfortunately. I'd have to move house lol

[@Bubbleraider]

how many miles does the R8 have???

[@ChrisDrift]

Bubbleraider just hit 40k

[@travis4161]

really like the helmet cam, gonna be using it more often?

[@ChrisDrift]

travis4161 there was no helmet cam lol maybe you mean the suction mount on the window next to me. Most the time my helmet or the A pillar got in the way of the interesting things from that view

[@travis4161]

yah sorry thats what i meant Lol. Too bad things got in the way =(

[@greaser3069]

Gt40 sounds too good

[@ScottPC]

Si, the stickers need a '.co.uk' or something! Also the old R8 keeping up with the new one.. that guy at of been a bit confused how you kept up!

[@DedicationBlog]

I was impressed how fast the new one was and how late he could brake

[@ScottPC]

DedicationBlog was pretty good! Temped or not by a new gen one?

[@DedicationBlog]

at first I hated the new design but its grown on me a lot. I'm sure they're great cars but I don't know if I could bring myself to spend such a huge amount of money (they're still over 100K second hand) to just get a slightly newer version of the car I already had.

[@ScottPC]

DedicationBlog true!

[@adamjwhite50]

Please sell the r8 and get a gt3 ,sounded fucking brilliant

[@alfies98]

Why do people blank out part of there plates?

[@DedicationBlog]

so that future buyers don't stumble across a video of their "one careful owner" car getting spanked around a track

[@alfies98]

That makes sense, Its also probably why the £55k gallardos arnt getting sold even with that description XD

[@adamjwhite50]

Also should have rang dust cap.co.uk I have used them they would of fixed it for you

[@DedicationBlog]

nah no one could repair it, the inside of the tyre was too badly damaged from doing the cool down lap while it was flat (even on a cool down lap, still doing at least 50 mph most the time). The tyre place near me that I took it to the following day said they wouldn't have even attempted to repair it as it was too badly damaged

[@adamjwhite50]

DedicationBlog oh sorry Chris I didn't mean repair I meant replace I had 2 blowouts near donnington and they sorted me within the hour

[@Vonstroke]

Pretty sure that Dino's a fake.

[@DedicationBlog]

what makes you say that?

[@Vonstroke]

Some proportions, the strange exhausts, the flared wheel arches. But I just checked the DVLA. Seems it's legit. My bad.

[@DedicationBlog]

Yeah I'd have been surprised if it was fake as the owner turned up with a lorry full of cars lol he obviously wasn't short of money. Nice guy though, leant me his jack and sockets so I could get the R8 wheel off

[@alexlam24]

DISLIKE SQUADDDDDDDDDDDDD
