Brings back memories. When Corona hits I drove a stock 1.2 8v Punto facelift on the Nordschleife for 100+ laps for 2 years. It helped a lot to learn the track in and out and drive it cleaner as there was way less traffic. I always said if it breaks it breaks but it never did. Was absolutely sending it. Engine was very reliable. Sold it end of 2022 and got something faster.
100 + laps in a Punto. That’s commendable sir. I bet you know the track very well after that. I’ve got some more mods to go on which should improve my track driving experience. I’ll be at Mondello park this summer to get a little better at track driving
@@Quattro_Joe It did indeed helped learn the track more. I knew the track only from games. I knew where to go but in games the elevation and many blind crest you don't have in games. Driving with such a slow car speeds like that helped a lot. Like getting used to the g forced and elevation. Helped me to drive cleaner. In 2023 I mostly only drove in the wet and spectated more. When the track is dry the traffic is way to much. Mods should help like coilovers, good tires etc for the punto. Never drove Mondello but you are from the UK right? You got many amazing tracks over there that are perfect for the punto. Don't sleep on them. I am planning on building a tracktool around july if I have time. Then also visit many UK tracks.
@@fabz_______1242 I’m not from the UK I’m from Ireland. Try not to confuse the 2 😂😂. I felt o was able to enjoy my drive more due to the car being relatively slow. If I’d had an M3 or R32 skyline both of which I’ve previously owned, then the lap
Would’ve been a bit scarier.
@@Quattro_Joe Oh I thought you are from England mb 😂 Actually my favorite rally driver comes from Ireland. Love Irish Rallying. Yeah but with a slow car on the nordschleife and in the summer there are so many cars that you can't really drive a clean line because you constantly getting overtaken by porsche and bmw's and have to move over. Only way you could get lucky to get a more free track is when you are there at 8 am when the track opens or drive a trackday. Something around atleast 180 hp will be better with a full track setup.
Brilliant! I'm scanning through now for the carousel to see if anything fell off like it would on mine! 🤣🤣
This little Punto is solid a rock 🤣🤣.
I’ll be uploading unedited videos of each lap soon. The carousel isn’t as bad as I tought even on my car which is lowered on Eibach springs.
Wow that's is awesome!
It really is! Already have parts arriving for next years trip. 🦾🦾
I tought you'd forgotten about part 2 !!!!!!!1
I didn’t forget I was just trying to recover lost footage. Failed unfortunately
You still have the HGT.
I do indeed. Plenty of parts to go on it too. Just haven’t had a chance to get near it with crap weather and the kids were a bit sick.
All the best , I'll be watching out for your videos ,,,,, my HGT is the same color as yours. Cheers .
@@dookieday1 ah sweet. Next lot of mods will include a full polybush kit and maybe some coilovers
@@Quattro_Joe can't wait for that one.
