Hey all been saying for some time that mk3s are great on the road course when set up nice or just in the hands of a good driver. (me...lol) But Here are some pics from my latiest event. I do drive my car to the track and about 3days outta the wk every wk rain snow whatever bec thats what they were made for. Here are some pics ask questions about the car or me if ya wanna.

are mkiii's good at the road course? I thought they were a bit heavy? Then again, I guess it depends on wether or not the car is classed or not. Does it run or compete well with other cars in it's class?

It's not so much the weight, it's easy to reduce, it's the steering angle. I was curious how he did without coilovers I think I asked him on SF. People with modified knuckles and a different steering rack were quite successful. Infact one member on here placed 1st in his class.

Steering lock isn't an issue on the road course, only in drifting :)

They're fat cars, but they have good suspensions and room for quite a lot of tire so it helps immensely. It's not on par with something like a Miata, but that's in a totally different class...
