Racing my 208 GTI at Donington Park!! Track Review

In today's video we go to Donington Park in my Peugeot 208 GTI by Peugeot Sport and see how the standard car performs on Track. This car was released as a hardcore version of the 208 GTI and its only on track we will see the benefits of these upgrades
Following the track day, I will review the car and give 3 good points and 3 things the car could have improved

[@esthetics.]

Great video! Thank you very much for the information and detailed video

[@HeloWarLord]

a thing to mention when going to these track days after each modification, is to monitor the weather in as much detail as possible or the other data will be irrelevant because it won't be a fair comparison, for example you make 5 more bhp because its 2 degrees colder than the day before ( before mod) or 3 seconds slower because you went around in the morning and there isn't enough rubber down on track. Information like that is important. All good saying this product helped, evidence.... Love the videos of the pug, love a Peugeot

[@rowanlewisuk]

Thats a good point. It does make a lot of difference. I wonder if an upgraded intercooler would translate to a time improvement

[@WhoseverThread0]

Great video, and very informative. I've got the 208 GTI and have learned a lot from your videos. Just getting into modifying my car and was considering either the Airtec or Forge intercooler but that will definitely be my next mod now knowing about the high intake temps.

[@rowanlewisuk]

I had the 208 gti a few years ago. Awesome cars. My goal is to improve the performance without affecting the engine reliability. Better intercooler seems a no brainer since it improves both

[@WhoseverThread0]

@@rowanlewisuk Yeah that's exactly what I'm trying to achieve with my car. I want to keep the reliability (so no remapping) but get as much out of the car as possible. Just fitted a Cobra sport exhaust and its sounding a lot better

[@TheMillenno1]

The best intercooler is the pug10ff p1 don't get any other shit

[@dwhit4679]

Awesome video and great driving! Would love to drive that track.

[@JoeStocker]

Peugeot as a whole are massively underrated in my opinion but the BPS really is a weapon and you can pick them up for a good price. a few mods and you can be running 240/250 bhp

[@Kezeychesey]

I’m a going to suggest an intercooler first up with tires, I could see the heat soak through the video 😂, for more power I’d go for a down pipe and a stage 2 map. Along with that go with a high flow panel filter and gfb dv+, with an intake scoop.

[@rowanlewisuk]

Thats pretty much the upgrade plans for now. Then stage 4 over winter 😁

[@Kezeychesey]

@@rowanlewisuk that will be expensive, will need forged rods, and pistons to cope, plus clutch upgrade, and the new turbo haha, I wish I could do that, I could but it's not ethical

[@andycleal]

Great video Rowan. As you know i track mine and i cant fault it although i have a pug one off intercooler. (Ive not been monitoring it tho 🤷 not noticed a drop in power tho) and carbon Lorraine rc5+, pads motul 660 fluid. Its a monster on track. I was thinking about the Maxxecu 52mm obd Gauge. And hiding it in one of the vents? Message me the details of you castle combe day. Ill see if im free? Always happy to Cameo 🤣

[@rowanlewisuk]

I cant fault this lufi gauge tbh. Not tried the one you mentioned. Would be interesting to see what your iat are like compared to stock

[@romrig4648]

Are you out of your mind? at what point Michelin SP ain't good?????

[@tyrellcooper-nelson3188]

nice🙌🏽 Was there spectating at Donington on the day, looked good. How does it compare to 200 on track?

[@rowanlewisuk]

Its about 200kg lighter, has an lsd and a turbo so imo its a better car. I never liked the clio that much if im honest

[@kevinkeast9610]

What is the little display you are using?

[@dennishickey7889]

Have you still got the car

[@oootaffooo501]

Stay well clear of these cars mines cost 1000s over last 5 yrs if you got one these and had mo problems my advice is yo het shot ASAP

[@DuelingPeaks]

I think you've posted this on every 208 video on KZbin, mate. Yours is clearly the pre-facelift model which was much less reliable. Anything from 2015 onwards with the THP 208 engine is much better.

[@oootaffooo501]

@rorycocker8943 what are you on about the problems these cars suffer with has nothing to do with what model it is the same shit happens with either the euro 5 and 6 they are an absolute money pit both models are.

[@DuelingPeaks]

@@oootaffooo501 Not true at all, but go off.

[@oootaffooo501]

@rorycocker8943 Obviously you don't own one these cars do your home work before commenting pal 👍
