- This was my 5th trip to the ring, and the 4th time I was going in my Panda, which will probably also be the last :'( This was lap 4/4 and the BTG time was 10:36.
This was the lap that I dared the most, and more than once the back end let go. My good friend Thomas tiny.cc/9gj96y was kind enough to sacrifice a lap to stay behind and film me.
I also included footage from Auto Addiction in the youtube corners. Thanks again for including me :) tiny.cc/wfj96y
The car had new wider tires with a lover profile, mounted on bigger, much heavier wheels with a lot smaller offset, which all made it behave a lot different.
It was slower than ever before, but I got so much more grip in the corners, that the suspension became an even bigger limiting factor.
It is seriously under sprung and under dampened, which made for a very wallowy ride, with unpredictable handling at times. It is definitely not a race car, but it it very fun to race it non the less.
The extra grip also meant that I could rarely heal and toe for down shifts, as the completely flat seat did not hold me at all, so I had to keep my foot against the pedals to be able to press myself into the seat, as well as hanging on for dear life by the steering wheel, while trying to steer.
It was a bit like a rodeo ride on a small but feisty pony.

Harikasın. İzlerken büyük keyif aldım. Genel plan için yakışıklı Audi'ye selamlar :)
Teşekkürler :)
nice! it's more fun driving a slow car fast than driving a fast car slow..
to bad the camera dropped.
was that the white bmw ring taxi holding up your chase cam?
what tires do you have? and the pressure?
man, you are hard on that gearbox. they didn't think of you when they designed that gearbox in turino
Thanks :) And yes, you are completely right!
Yes the BMW was holding up the chase cam, and actually me too, when he first overtook me. I had to step really hard on the brakes lol
It was not a ring taxi by the way - he was wayyy to slow for that.
Tires are in the description, and the pressures vere set to 2 bar front and 1.7 back.
I know I'm a bit hard on the gearbox, but I can't afford to loose time changing gear ;)

I missed the description, thanks for the reply.
maybe some 100hp springs? ;)
@@be4tnl No worries :)
I thought about some 100hp spring, but it really doesn't make sense. The dampers would have to be changed as well, and what about the weak engine? and so on and so on... It's better just to get another car.
I learned a big lesson from putting bigger wheels with more grip on the car; I actually made the rest of the car one big weak link, and I took some of the fun out of it as well. Before it was slower, but everything matched . From now on, when I upgrade a car, I will do it in very small sensible steps, or in huge steps like changing ALL the suspension parts at once.
*Hahahaaaa this is great !!!*
Thanks man.
@@testacorsa1 You are very welcome ! By the way, just for fun the previous week I have purchased Panda 2010 1.2, myself 😃
@@major-Mihailo-Madzarevic Congratulations. The best car I have ever owned. I hope you will enjoy yours 🙂✌
@@testacorsa1 Hah tytyt ! I am very glad to hear that ! I hope that I will enjoy mine, as much as you enjoyed yours !!! Cheers !
Damn man nice. I am trying to learn how to heel and toe on this exact car but i just feel like the gas and brake pedals are way too far from each other.
I know what u mean. I modded my brake pedal, and added approx. 2 cm to the face of the pedal towards the gas pedal.
For technique, try using the side of your foot instead for the gas, and not your heel.
And thanks btw 🙂
I drive a 100hp, even the sporty one has shitty pedal design! That's why I don't heel and toe, I rev match!
I would like to go with the seicento, but I think it will probably die before karrussell
Haha, I thought so too, but ended up surviving, and having a lot of fun on top :)
Last ring trip in the punto or for good? Been wanting to go there in a semi-shitbox on a tight budget on a while. Like.. Something decent that would be too expensive to fix up for the next inspection, but functions fine.
Last time in the Panda. I will be going again, but I need a fresher car next time. You can go in a "shitbox, but be sure it's in good nick. You will be blamed if an accident happens because you spill oil or coolant for example.
Dude kick in at some hp. I’m guessing you have the 59hp 1.2. Get it to like 90 hp
Yep, it's just a 1,2. I got myself a 100HP now, and that's a bit quicker. Hope to bring it to the ring one day.
This is a super confusing with the 5 video's in one
Yeah, I know it's a bit confusing when the camera car filming from behind drops back, but other than that, I think is't fun to watch,
well, for me at least :)
Have you removed the speed limitator of your panda?
Without is more and more fast...
Süper... 1.2 ? 1.4t ? Selamlar Türkiye den...
teşekkür ederim. 1,4t haha. Ne yazık ki sadece 1,2. Danimarka'dan selamlar.
@@testacorsa1👍 1.2 bende vardı sattım pişmanım 😭 yine alacağım...
@@Kurtca Katılıyorum, tekrar bir tane al! Benimkini de sattım ama yerine 100hp aldım :D
Miiii
Bel manico
