So, I'm taking a (really) slow car to the ring... Is that even fun? I say YES! You be the judge.
More or less ignore me talking in the video, as this was to be part of a mini documentary I was planning to do, about bringing a slow car to the ring on a tight budget.
The rear hatch was not closed properly, so the little engine is easier to hear in this video. I also experimented with my old smart phone pointing backwards, which is good fun to see imo, but I turned the image stabilizer on which was a mistake as it was totally overwhelmed, so the video got very shaky.
This lap was the first i drove on this trip. It was late friday afternoon where the track was open for two hours. I had to get a feel for the new tires, so didn't go crazy at all, and still I was only four seconds off my best time. Sadly I didn't get a chance to go after my record as all my three laps saturday had passengers along, and sunday was wet all day.
The car is a 2005 Fiat Panda 1.2 with 60 Hp minus the back seat and 176.000km on the clock. Newish budget tires 165/70r13 - Falken eco on Fiat 850 sport coupe 13x5" steelies, and NOS Fiat 127 hub caps :)
A hi-five to my Panda for taking me there and back, and for being my motel at night.
INCREDIBLE little car!
