    Will, do you know how excellent the astra is for track use? It's forgiving and teaches you a lot about steering wheel feedback. Well, at least the opel version, you know, the one where the steeringwheel is on the correct side? :D the suspension is superb, and increasing back tyre pressure to 3 bar and front tyre to 2.1 bar helped me back in the days to get his understeering behavior under control. Set the apex as late as possible, so you may get in the corner slowly but can accelerate earlier, because it understeers a lot under throttle and the lack of a lsd would just lead to wasted cornering potential. If you ever put hands on it, make sure reducing chamber in the rear an optionally increase it int the front, depends on the tyres you wanna use.

    I loved my KA. Really fun car to drive, and it's so cheap that you don't really worry if you scrape it. Really did punish that engine and it lasted through 2 solid years of hard driving without proper warming up. And with no traction control, it was super fun in the wet. Easily spins the fronts up to 40 in first. The KA hasn't got any power, but it has just the right balance for fast cornering on tight back roads. Also really stuck to the road when I had my mate with me. Kept up with a fiesta on one of our decent driving roads. He pulled on the straights, but I caught him in the corners. Handbrake turns are also fairly easy as there is virtually no weight in the back. Can't fault that car one bit. The only issue we had was a dead battery.
    Before the accident, I could probably have put that car up for sale for £2000. No advisories other than a dodgy garage that failed her for rust that was magically gone when we went to another garage. Really was in great condition. Unfortunately she got written off on the 8th of Jan 2023 as an 86 year old woman tried to turn into a carpark infront of me whilst I was doing 50mph on a 60mph road which was straight and flat, with nothing obstructing her view of my car. Not much you can do in any car in that situation. I'll miss my little yeg, And I won't ever forget her.
    Onwards and upwards though. Next car is going to be a 2015 to 2018 focus, preferably the 1.5. More power and wider tires, so hopefully I won't have fiestas pulling away from me on the straights anymore.

    Can you take your daily drivers around your track I would like to see the difference times, the person that drives it has to take it round the track.

    It really bugs me when UK channels talk about money in dollars no American channels talk about money in GBP

    Ka is an epic handling car, of which u can use all of the power. Fun like a Go-Cart, with a wheel planted right on the edge each corner.
    I used to love burning round in my Wife's old Ka!!

      I did an Opentrack event at Cadwell a few years back with biblical rainfall. Great day. I was in my Alfasud and didn’t overtake a single other car! I can highly recommend Opentrack. Great guys and the format is brilliant - you can drive as little or as much as you want. No pressure and you choose when you go on track and when you come back in. And Cadwell is an awesome track too. If anyone is tempted to try a track day, give it a go 👍

    OG Top Gear vibes. Even if this idea isn’t “original” I still love it.
