Hillman VS Fords - Donington park 2023

Taking on the bigger Fords in the 1 litre Imp at a drying Donington park.
New rear dampers built by BG Motorsport have improved the handling no end, much more settled and a lot less mid-corner hop!

Sounding really crisp James, thanks for the video. 👍

[@CraigOverend]

Pretty funny seeing all the Fords understeering off the same corner that the Imp is three wheeling all the way along the apex.

Great drive car was planted especially in those tricky track conditions well done James 👍 i noticed what felt like a vibration, maybe somthing in the drivetrain? Could just be the camera. Fix your mirror it distracted you a few times

[@Jamesibbotson875]

Just wheels out of balance. Mirror is fine, it’s just adjustable😂

Great driving ... saw in the second half of the race you were taking the corners much faster and braking later. Confidence was showing in car for the conditions. maybe 2 more laps you might of taken that anglia as I saw at least 3 corners you were much faster than him
