Re: (-Trouble-)

I was there. I cruised down from Herndon to the track and got to park my GLI in front of the VW Tech Center. Pretty Sweet. It was an absolutely amazing time.
Yes, they do have R8 brakes in the front and they are huge. After this weekend, I am in love with the Thunder Bunny kit.

tsk tsk, sanch0... there are two apexes in that picture!

correct! my bitterness blinded me to the black car that is darn close to the second

i hear the n00bs were turning 2:14s. all those extra goodies and only ~11 seconds faster than a stock GTI

11 seconds is a mighty long time on VIR Full, my friend! And James would probably call that the "racing line" or some other hoo-ha like when he won't listen to me about the outside of 5 on SP Main. Any time you can make a straight a little longer is more time on the go pedal!
I've got to give the TDI Cup guys props though. For the majority, I'll imagine that was their first taste of VIR other than any in-car videos some might have ate up. Looking at some of those pics I'm not surprised a bead or three went 'pop' on those 18" wheels. Hitting Oak Tree hard enough to bicycle out is one close shave!
