BMW320i Neutral Newbie June 1, 2006 Share June 1, 2006 (edited) Recently attended a Ralliart Driver's Training organised by the dealership and I'll have to say it is the best $100 modification I've spent on this car. To all the 18 year olds with P plates as well as the others. Please do not post a thread asking where you can get the largest turbo or the best performance mod per buck. All the performance modifications will be useless on the track because it requires, skill and not horsepower. Please I urge all the 2F2F wannabes talking about 99 pratas or OG to go to the track and do 2 laps at least. The track experience will speak for itself because when your car spin out, I really hope you are taking your car for a ride and not your car taking you for a ride. On the track we had 2 cars that spung out with 1 who overtook me as it was modified, quicker and more aggressive but spung out on Shell corner resulting in me E-braking to avoid ramming him from the side. Funny thing was that the car looks promising during the corner till it broke rear traction and spung out. Caught me by surprise by definitely caught the driver even more because he did not attempt to counter steer. Note: This guy is a regular at the track. Those who think its easy, please please please modify yourself first before talking about power upgrades. After the track experience, I find myself taking much more caution on the road in knowing the consequences of malhandling the car. We had the Slalom course and Apex practice. I did 3 laps in tarmac mode and last in Gravel mode. Clipped 2 cones with gravel mode due to tail happy distribution set up.

BMW320i Neutral Newbie June 2, 2006 Author Share June 2, 2006 The long straight into the Novus corner kills the brakes man. Thats about a 245kph long straight and into a 90kph corner. Very hard on the braking system. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
