MINI COOPER SD / BMW 125D & A BROKEN AUDI TT! Donington Park Track Day

What started off as a dry winters track day at Donington Park later turned into a challenging wet one!
We basically went head to head in the FWD Mini Cooper SD & RWD BMW 125D to see which was better and on which tyres (Uniroyal Rainsport vs Pilot Sport 4's)
The TT also turned up later in the day only be be loaded back up soon after because of the same gearbox issues that gave Ryan grief in the MSV Supercup end of season race!

Merry Christmas! Has Darkside Developments ever considered/did a mod of reversing the flow of an engine coolant?(As in making the coolant flow through the heas first) The major benefits would be cooling the ingition chamber first and minimizing knock etc. Looking forwoard into any advice/insight on this topic

[@DarksideDevelopments]

Merry Christmas! We tried on the race engines and it's much harder to bleed pushing the water down so caused issues!

[@robsewell5067]

The track day looks well organised. Can you tell me who ran it? We are always looking for well mannered and well run track days 😊

[@DarksideDevelopments]

Circuit Days, Chris is sound ;)

Lads is there any scope to get more power out of the 2.0 2019 transit custom engines? Can't find anything online about others trying.

[@DarksideDevelopments]

[@smokeoutfpv4132]

Been really enjoying the videos recntly. Epecially the mini! Ever done any work on the R56 diesels?

[@DarksideDevelopments]

N47? Pug engine is terrible

[@smokeoutfpv4132]
