cheers, appreciate your comments. the first couple of runs were pretty pedestrian but was starting to learn the road a bit by this third one. Yes it does feel like cheating sometimes driving such a light weight car but hey, I came in above an entire field of cars with larger (twice as large and with blowers mostly!) engines so something had to even the playing field. It just so happens that less weight has a lot more benefits than more power ;-)

charade GTi is very Rocky 💪😎🇮🇩

[@charko86]

[@gtti89]

thanks very much. I am just using some basic circuit race valved Koni shocks with rebound adjustment. Nothing special but very light car which is key :)

[@gtti89]

[@kiwipauly1]

Awesome work indeed! - Congrats

[@mikel429]

For a 3-pot, that does sound pretty badass.

[@gtti89]

yes well that's the big advantage of running a track car in an open hillclimb event :) still got a decent 8 point cage in it but not much else holding her together! plastic windows included :)

[@MrBuerckner]

Nice work mate, that's got to be a sub 700kg car right? Pulling 5th on stock ratios... what diff ratio? doesn't matter it's still good! Love the door trim, makes an F40 look luxo barge.

[@sharizmi77]

[@RbHaris]

any chance to have a GTti halfcut / parts.....anyone....

[@gtti89]

[@MrBuerckner]

cheat! ;-) power windows, front side intrustion bars, fire bomb etc. i had a good couple of looks at the in car, you're doing very well. mostly i watch incar and wonder why they are comfortable to put that ttup for the world to see?

[@user-nq6pb3ye7i]

[@UbunTuner]

Gear Ratio Is it normal?

[@MrBuerckner]

cool, I could was mine to 910kg in rally spec with 2 seats, 2012 spec CAMS spec rollcage and all the extra crap neede to rally safely.

[@Eblis78]

mental:)

[@gtti89]

haha thanks :)

[@Eblis78]

did u kick out pilot? or only one person car for weight reason.

[@gtti89]

Had the option of co-driver or not.. as I've never used notes before I thought it'd be easier without.

[@GTtiG100]

nice driving lines! your GTti is nicely settled on the road, what suspension are you running it it?

[@GTti79]

Great Tim! :)
