Evening chaps....
Some great footage from earlier in the year when we broke the lap record in our mad impreza. We literally found this SIM card last week and had to do something with it.
It was only running "mid" setting at 420 bhp so similar to a B7 RS4 and not full boost at 520 as it was causing too much understeer in certain corners.
No abs or traction control just the skill of the driver on these laps.
I did 3 warm up laps in the morning with Fredy and he is proper quick as you will see.
Sit back, crank up the volume and enjoy....

Absolutely superb! One thing that stood out, must have monster brakes, stops insanely fast!

Not too big Ian
355mm Tarox 10 Piston brake conversion front & 328mm Tarox rears
Stainless lines, Tarox fluid - no abs and a 4 port master cylinder which we repipe the brakeline directly to each caliper.
Great for pedal feedback and balance.fredy didnt brake that much but to be fare we had to change the pads over before we set for home as they were pretty worn after 12 laps at speed.
Car is pretty light though and comes in at 1404 kgs inc full tank of fuel, cage etc.
Just had it dyno'd today before it officially goes up for sale....520 bhp & 504 lb/ft on V-power...372 bhp per ton puts it up there with the big boys
