- A 1:30.1 around Thruxton in Peugeot 206 GTI 180 - my favourite UK circuit. This was my third visit to the circuit and after a recent weight saving exercise I managed to find nearly 2.5s on last years best lap!
(I kept saying 1:31.1 in the video - it was actually a 1:30.1)
I will take you through an onboard lap of Thruxton through my eyes as I battle a Porsche 968 in CSCC Open Series.
It was by no means a perfect lap, with my optimal sectors showing me I could find another half second around the lap it I was able to string it all together. But this was my best lap of the weekend which came in the heat of battle.

Thank you James, this was really useful! I'm off to Thruxton on Wed for a press drive and never done a lap there before... 👌
Amazing! Thanks Joe. Best of luck! This is the circuit I had a bit of fear at first time but once the confidence and experience kicks in it is an absolute blast lap after lap there! Let me know how it goes 🎉
Looks a good track im thinking about booking 1 there
Hi James. I am doing a supercar expereince day around Thruxton later later this year.
I have watched every pole lap from 2022 to 2015 in the BTCC, but have learned just as much from your tuition.
I think if my relatives are willing to pool all that money on a supercar expereince day the least I can do is put in the hours learning the track from the experts.
Please keep up the good work.
Thanks for watching! Great to hear you’ll be hitting Thruxton later in the year. I’ll be racing there again in May so will have lots of fresh videos to check out after. I’ll update the hot lap and will make a race review as well! Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you in the comments again 😎
Very useful vid mate! I am racing there next weekend for the first time in my 206 GTi looks a super fast flowing circuit. Bring it on. Thank you for the tips
Excellent! How did you get on? It’s a brilliant circuit. Fun the whole way round.
Great video! Off there next week so using this as a reference thank you
Thank you! Really great to see people find some of my older videos and find them useful. Please stop by again and let me know how you got on at what is my favourite UK circuit!
This is great to watch! I’m off for my first track day in a few weeks, around Thruxton so just watching videos and trying it out on AC on my PC 😂
Nice one Josh! Best of luck at what is a superb circuit. I'm racing there on Saturday in my newer/better 206 so I'm hoping to smash that lap time from a couple of years ago - although rain is forecast so maybe not possible. I'll try and get some fresh Thruxton content up before your track day. Let me know how you get on!
@@JamesWilson234 ah hope the race went well!? Track day was awesome yesterday! Started dry and got progressively wetter as the day went on so a good test on varying grip levels! Hooked! Gonna book in for Brands I think next! 💯🏁
Sorry I missed your reply, had the wrong notification settings! My race day was ok. Washout qualifying and the car wanted to spin off on the bumps to the final chicane. And then I spun down the pit straight and just missed the pit wall, a friend didn’t and hit both ends. Race was a lottery as safety came out and I didn’t put so had to fight back through the field. My camera didn’t work that day. Did you go to brands?
Great video. Im due to drive here agian soon for the 2nd time ever and didnt have a clue what i was doing the first time. Thanks
Cool! What are you going to be driving? It’s my favourite track. Once you get confident on it, it’s a dance all the way round! Best of luck and keep me posted how it goes.
@@JamesWilson234 I'm actually taking a honda crv suv this time... It has r888s, yellowspeed coilovers and ep3 civic type r calipers (with the civic cup disc & pad combo)
Put together as a joke really, but cant take credit for the idea. My mate got me into it, he did it first. Hopefully take my camera and get some decent footage
Just saw your onboard! Looked it was going well! Did you enjoy it? That Saxo left it a bit late at the chicane 😂
@@JamesWilson234 yeah was great fun. I think the car took a lot of people by surprise. The saxo was quick for an 8v i was impressed, had to let it pass i hate holding people up
Out on Friday with opentrack. Will be my first time, good to have some sort of reference point haha. Nice one 👌
Nice one Rob! Let me know how you get on and if you like the track. It’s my favourite for how fast and daring it is. I’m back racing there on Coronation weekend so will hopefully have some updated and faster laps to post!
@@JamesWilson234 it was awesome, abit damp made it fun to chuck about especially on semi slicks as I had no wets 🙈
My lines were very different but it's what I thought worked 🤣
I bet it's fun on slicks in the dry
That's my attempt 😜

That was looking really good! Not bad at all and looked loads of fun. Fair play for taking the rumbles through church, I always turn in a bit late and miss them but do try use all the exit kerb in the dry for max throttle up the hill. Nice half spin at the chicane 😁 it happens. Have you been out since?

@@JamesWilson234 alright pal, yeah it was fun. I've only been to Cadwell since then. Normally try and do one trackday a month but house/kids/work etc life's took over abit. Back out next month thankfully 👌 can't wait 😁
Yeah the back ends abit light on this and locks up (no abs or brake bias) the rear with ease, that was my attempt at trying to keep up with the car Infront 🤣
good man!
Thank you! Should be able to smash that lap time in March if I race there so stay tuned and thanks for the comment 😎
Hi James, great video! When you come off the gas, would this not upset the balance of the car as you want to keep wheels engaged? Hope that makes sense 😅 and thanks in advance
Hi Amy! Thanks for the comment. Lift off oversteer isn’t too bad in the 206 I have to say, it’s a very forgiving car. Is there a particular part of the lap/corner you were referring to?
What so you normally lap at when there isn't a car in front towing you?
Hard to say for a few reasons. This was my old car and I’m a lot faster in my new 206. However on my last 2 visits I broke down in quali and then it monsooned the following year. And I couldn’t make it this year! So no improvement on lap time yet in the new car!
will be more helpful if you also give reference for braking point.
still, thanks for the guide :)
Every car will be different and you find your own braking points as you build up confidence per lap. But I’ll definitely consider adding my own braking points into future videos if they would be helpful. Thanks for watching 😎
@@JamesWilson234 ah yeah that silly of me, i didnt consider different car have different braking points xD thanks for quick reply, i will browse all of your content from now.
@@rocupacu no worries! Hope it helps you find some time wherever and whatever you go lapping in! 😎
