Excellent! And then there are people saying that fwd can't be fun..

[@CamberandCombustion]

They obviously haven't experienced the loose rear-end wizardry of a French hatch!

[@Matzgier]

@@CamberandCombustion A few years ago I bought my first car - saxo vts. After a year or so of driving it i've experienced lift off oversteer for the first time, not knowing what it was. Managed to instinctively pull it out of the slide and shit myself at the same time. Had no idea such thing existed. Went home to google what could be causing a FWD car to slide like that. Wasn't it supposed to be understeerish all the time? Since then I've had alot of fun with it.

[@lexburen5932]

@@Matzgier the beauty of FWD is you can purposely force it into overseer, and you can steer with the throttle wich is so much fun.

[@dmoney6388]

@@CamberandCombustion Just got myself an RS 197 and it is just smiles for miles honestly

[@joeyrmz2638]

Pls do a video about these two cars in detail and talk about the mods you made

[@CamberandCombustion]

A good idea Joey, thanks for sharing.

[@geluix69]

Easy enough, stiff sway bar at the rear, manual brake bias valve .

[@benmoore4994]

Brilliant, your videos show what trackdays are all about. Getting out there having fun and learning to controll the cars. Too many other videos of people showing how their car is faster than XYZ 'quicker' cars around certain circuits, a refreshing watch as always keep them coming.

[@CamberandCombustion]

Thanks Ben. Our aim for 2019 is to get out as much as possible, watch this space!

[@CostasCh]

Yeah!! This a huge proof to everyone says that FWD cars don't oversteer!

[@gianhet]

Just came across your channel guys, your videos are a blast to watch. You're great drivers and we can tell you're having a shitload of fun, keep it up :)

[@baughurst1]

Brilliant, great work guys love watching you guys hooning these cars around the various tracks!!

[@mcprod3041]

Thank you guys. You are strong and fun

[@Tschonsaey]

Hahaha, absolutely hilarious and epic to watch! Must have been so much fun! Keep up this good content! 10 times better to watch than a hot lap with a Lambo :D

[@lassereinstrm9698]

This is exactly how i was drive my Renault Megane 2.0 IDE Coach Coupe. And after a couple of cars - it was the car that brought most fun

[@piotrmalewski8178]

That's some great track. Very interesting layout, plenty of different challenges and safe- just a lot grass going slightly uphill.

[@mro9466]

aaaah Peugeot is not what it used to be ! :D such a good looking and fun car to drive the 306

[@CamberandCombustion]

Agreed! They've aged very well and still look good to this day.

[@PH1N0]

Nice seeing you proper racing a manual the old-fashioned way!

[@CIRCUITDRIVERCARS]

Great footwork cam! Was on the same day in the little black turbo mx5 with the bronze wheels. Had a chat with one of your mates and meant to come over to say hello but then the day suddenly ended after that horrid mini crash. Hope to catch you at another day soon. Keep up the great vids guys.

[@CamberandCombustion]

Thanks! The MX5 looked really nicely prepped, bet it’s a right hoot. Yeah it was a shame how the day ended, although it has motivated us to book the next day at Oulton in Jan!

[@CIRCUITDRIVERCARS]

​@@CamberandCombustion Cheers, yeah mega fun for the money it's cost to build and cheap enough to fix things when they go wrong haha. Brill, I just booked Oulton for Feb 2nd too then over to Anglesey in March. A few upgrades to get sorted on the mx5 over the next few weeks! Look forward to seeing some sideways Clio/Pug footage through druids :).

[@CamberandCombustion]

​@@CIRCUITDRIVERCARS likewise, looking forward to seeing some action in the MX5!

[@ethanhatch1835]

When only have enough for 2 Toyo Proxes so you're forced to put "budget midrange" tyres on the back

[@horacio1464]

well, tonight I had a 180 spin in a corner because of that (rain)

[@ohyou_6599]

@Tim P you can just cut the other two out and label the T1R as 'crap' for a track tire. They have no business being on the front of a mr-s from my experience. Amazing tires for the street though.

[@JuanMartinez-zw4tn]

I love how you guys drive like complete maniacs also miss the 306 ;(

[@ardailguy4190]

Always love seeing new videos lads, you never disappoint! However my rectum on the other hand has a hard time when you approach those corners at those crazy speeds! Anyway, my arse aside I would love to see some timed laps Clio Vs Pug from the tracks you attend if possible! Commentary from both drivers pre and post track day would be a bonus too xD

[@CamberandCombustion]

Appreciate the kind and graphic words there Arda! And thanks for the great suggestions for future content.

[@sammysev16]

Just bought myself another 197 after a year away, you lot are getting me excited to give it a proper hoon! Would love to see how you guys drive on real roads, although I don’t imagine the police would agree 🤣

[@CamberandCombustion]

Thanks Adam! Yeah, a lot of them are heading that way now aren’t they. We’ve driven a couple of Ep3s and they’re definitely partial to some lift off too! What do you prefer, Ep3 or 197?

[@elek101]

The 306 actually has passive rear wheel steering which makes it behave way more fun than most hatches :)

[@CamberandCombustion]

This 306 has had it's passive rear steering disabled in this vid due to the very expensive price of fitting the standard axle mounts which enable this passive rear steering. It's running solid mounts instead.

[@jmv668]

Impressive drive , good job!

Nice video's !! been checking them alot, soon will be entering my first every trackday with my Saxo with 125hp (original 89hp) Which position can u recommand for mounting a Gopro? I do not have a sunroof and i have the passanger seat inplace.

[@CamberandCombustion]

If you have a standard passenger seat with headrest, search for a 'Hague headrest camera mount' - they work great. Good luck in your racing!

[@thomasgchilds]

What pads and tyres are you *absolute heroic nutters* using on the Six please? Cheers!

[@CamberandCombustion]

'Absolute heroic nutters' - a compliment of the highest regards, thank you sir. The 306 is running EBC Bluestuff pads up front, standard Brembo discs and standard motor factor Dot 5.1 fluid. Tyres for wet driving are Michelin Pilot Sport 3s (195 50 15) and for the dry Nankang AR1s (205 50 15).

In that gti6 you should put a fully reprogrammable ecu, with stock internals a friend of mine got 202hp at the flywheel

[@CamberandCombustion]

Good numbers! Was that on throttle bodies?

I didn't know that brake can be operated with the left foot. :)

@@asianR53 thanks good to know

it prevents the rear end to slide to much in the corner. Especially for FWD

[@Bryan-ir1ex]

Lovely stuff! Does either car have LSD? How do the weight and power compare between the two?

[@CamberandCombustion]

Thanks Bryan. Neither car has an LSD. The power to weights are estimated to be similar but we need to get both cars on a dyno and weigh bridge to confirm!
