Croft - Fast Laps *Footcam*

A few fast laps in the Golf with an added footcam!
A trackday in November is never a good idea, but having not done a track day all year I was eager to get out! I had 2 nights after work to get the car prepared, it was a mad rush but was very happy to get everything done the night before.
The cold temps in the morning mad a few corners very greasy but after lunch it had dried out and I was able to get back to a decent pace. Fortunately the weather was dry all day and the Golf performed flawlessly. :)

Quality footwork mate - wasn’t expecting left-foot braking either! Great driving, top mk2.

D King thanks for the kind words mate 🤘🏼

[@danielsanchez1549]

Unbelievable! 👍

[@allhandson3489]

So installed my cam headers springs and all dude!!! What a difference i had to buy a brake kit for it because it got scary lol. Going to install new shifter bushings and a short shifter next then i may just be ready for some track time. Always fun watching your golf!

[@davidzeb888]

good video! what oil do you use in your car?

[@Jims_racing]

I use 10w 40. Think its Mobile 1, 3000.

[@danielsanchezlopez1108]

James Cope and would not it be better 5w40 for the use so intense that you do of the engine? (Sorry, im spanish and i use translate)

[@Jims_racing]

Daniel Sanchez Lopez ive had absolutely no need to change it. I run an external 13 row oil cooler so the oil never goes over 105degrees C on track. So the viscosity will be the same as that standard road car on a hot day 👍🏼

2019 under 9' Nordschleife👌

[@Jims_racing]

Daniel Sanchez it would be a stretch with the little 8v! May have an ABF by next year ;-)
