Nurburgring Nordschleife Twingo RS 28-08-2011 Lap1

A lap in the RS testing the new upgrades (tires and brake pads) on the Nordschleife. Not a very good day as track temperature stayed very low so the tires didn't get much heat and could work better.

The Miata was running on T1R tires, new suspensions with lowered and stiffer ride, rollcage and uprated brake pads, so similar to my mods. And the driver has a very nice driving touch so as i wasn't pushing mine too much just to test the new parts, we were pretty equals in terms of raw perf.

Regarding the Clio, it has the engine that the Twingo needs. That says it all. Clio RS3.2 is the GT3RS of its category

Je sais pas mais comme il était déjà lancé quand j´ai démarré j´en ai chié pour le doubler :D Bon, au premier virage je ne l´ai plus vu forcément...

Thanks :) I covered a total of 21 laps during the day, taking some friends as passengers for their first time here. Sadly the day ended with the death of a biker just before the track closure :(

I remember I've immediately noticed your car in the parking that day, particularly the all loss-of-weight work, and I just wondered how it would go on track. Today I found this video, and I see you achieved just a couple of second more than my lap with a rented clio rs, the same day. Shame on me, LoL ;) (I didn't kwon about the biker, even if when we saw the ambulance returning with no sirens on ... )

@yotah1 so you would say a twingo handles very well? I drove the clio and really liked it as i thought it felt like a more modern saxo vts

Loved the battle with the MX5! Would have thought the twingo would have been a fair bit quicker than the 5 or did it have mods?

Still unsure whether to get one of these or the clio 200 cup as the fuel/insurance/tax is a lot cheaper on the twingo and is there any point getting a car that can go 0-60 3 secs quicker and have a higher top speed really going to make me that much better on track? Probably not
