For some reason when I post from my laptop it always makes it a link, while copying and posting the same link on my work PC always shows a preview of the Youtube clip...  odd.

On your laptop make sure the link you paste in starts with http rather than https

More footage brilliant as always

What time were you there, I was there with a friend for an RS owners meet and saw some of the cars in your video leaving but didn't see the yeti :(

Black R32 wasn't hanging about although you seemed to make quick work of him.

Love that sound - nice to see something that's not a 1.8T or 2.0T

About 7:20pm.

I didn't stay until the end, just wanted to test the car for Rockingham.

Blimey, just finished reading this thread, and what a thread it is, hats off to you Bossfox, what a car the Yeti is, simply put, it's stunning fella

One of my morning runs at Rockingham yesterday.

Briskoda National 2015.

 

Passenger is john999boy.

 

Nice job - still can't get over how good it sounds.

Do the new tyres and pressures help a lot?

Can't remember from my test flight in it when it had 300bhp as I was giggling too much

Yes, it does make some interesting noises and several people watching commented on the noise.

 

Think I had the pressures a little high, but it was OK.

 

New tyres went on Tuesday and new brake pads Saturday.

Due to the aggressive nature of the circuit on top of the power and weight of the Yeti they are all severely used and in need of replacement.

Ouch - makes for an expensive track day when you need four tyres!

At least 17's are fairly 'cheap' and you aren't exactly hanging about

Thought you were going off @ 4.30. It was mighty impressive sat on the bank watching you hunt down allegedly quick cars. :clap:

Didn't get chance to say hello you were constantly surrounded by eager people. but I did have a quick snoop round the Yeti

and it looks like a very impressive conversion. What happened to the Citigo was looking forward to seeing it in the flesh?

Thanks.

 

Logistics made bringing the Citigo not viable.

My trailer is off for repairs, so I would have had to borrow a race shuttle and van to transport it.

While I did that myself to collect it from Jabbasport, I would not let anyone else drive it, no matter how good at driving they are.

Borrowing something and then giving it to someone else when I am liable for it and all that...

And I needed to drive the Yeti up.

If you ever need a hand with driving anything, i'm happy to help out.

GTR, Skyline, Yeti, I'm free too

Fantastic car,can't believe how fast you catch and pass some of the perceived fast cars in videos!

Had a170bhp TDi yeti from new and loved husseling it along the roads and surprising people!

Noticed you talked about tyre choice / cost and you mentioned yoko tyres, as a navigator in a Tarmac rally car we went from yoko's to Hankooks massive jump in grip and depending on compound run time,driver has just upgraded again to Pirelli and has already said he feels a lot more confident with the car,vx nova ,each step up adds to budget and then highlights other issues which costs to be addressed, but good boots certainly pays dividends!

Unless your race series for the fiesta has a certain tyre allowed am sure the paddock will show you the way!

Keep up the great work,loving the car!

Here's a video from a rather bemused arial atom driver

Just watched that.....................    .............& he was defo trying to catch up.........nearly lost it on a couple of turns...............all I can say is WOW that's some Yeti! well done Richard..............

Here's a video from a rather bemused arial atom driver

pmsl brilliant! I was watching from the pit wall when that was going on, he literally did a double take as the yeti went past

I think that's got to be the only time that   actually can be used for a genuine reason!

 

What will that Atom driver think when the Citigo hits the tracks?

Not great pictures but here are some i took at Rockingham:

That could be our new Fabia vRS vs Mini Cooper video!

that video represents every reason why to build a sleepy. I drove an Atom on track a few years ago and not alot could touch it so i'm guessing the Yeti is absolute monster

The Yeti is gone down every straight lol. That part of the video when the passenger in the atom points and throws his hands up in the air as if to say "what the hell is that?" Lol. What a brilliant video.
