Snow trainings

[Walezy]

I wonder how many forum members are doing winter rides in their 131. I will definitely go for couple of hours today to make some snow drifting in my area, i was waiting all year for this. I have finally fitted winter tires with studs and the car has half tank of fuel which will be enough to make about 2 hours of driving, then a refuell with a cup of hot coffe on a gas station and some more sliding on 5th gear

That sounds like a very good couple of hours & probably the best car to do it in. Im jealous....

i see that some test are already made. today we have here in poland simmilar conditions. I want to go and have some fun on few stages in my area. The best are series of high speed bends that you need to go on 4th or 5th gear with pedal to the metal, lot of fun, studded tires help a lot.
I am not able to make too much movies as where i go it is too dark and i only drive at night as there is no traffic but i will try to make an onboard this winter.

I should have GoPro camera to make some nice footage from trainings. Two days ago i have installed Nokian Hakapelita studded tires and now the car accelerates quite good, i wish i could get rally tires
Anyway yesterday i was making low flights on 5th gear revved almost to the end so i assume it must have been close to about 150-160Kmh

Very Nice  , i think ,  i want to participate on a "Snow Challenge" one day when my car are finished

Looks fine but the entry fee is way too high. for 830euro i have an entry fee paid for about 4 rallies in czech republic. The other thing bad about the track is that it is too wide, it is much more fun if it is a narrow snowy road where you cannot have any mistakes.

Sure on the real road are more fun, i present e little "Historic Rallyes" in France  on a closed road in mountain :

Today i got gopro camera mounted on the car and tried to make a movie but after about an hour of driving i have noticed that i have not pur SD card into the camera .
On the movie made from handycam you can see one of my test tracks:) unfortunately it was too icy for my tires so it ws not too quick run as i had tires spinning all the time.
