Gymkhana - have you guys done one?

[insanekiwi]

Hi guys,

I am thinking of doing Gymkhana, but not sure if it will be okay for the car... I am taking it the car to the race track this Friday too.

Gymkhana apparently just uses mainly first and second gear to go through courses / slalom made of cones. I am just wanting to find out if my revo'ed GTI gearbox will take one off throttle in 1st and 2nd gear throughout the whole time.

Anyone done Gymkhana here? any problems??

Cheers,
Han

Ive done a gymkhana, but in an FPV GT-P (5.4L V8 RWD) so unfortunately, I cant answer yr question directly.

However, YOU WILL HAVE GREAT FUN!!

Just a suggestion, dont get on the gas peddle too early, or you'll understeer really badly

Yup I've done them, they're mostly called motorkhana here. Your gearbox will be fine, your handbrake might receive a lot of attention depending on how much fun vs speed you want

If you want to win then 2 things 1) what gareth said & 2) get as close as possible to the witches hats without hitting them.

If you want to win

have about 4 Redbulls 10mins before you start.

oh and obviously turn off ESP

good call on the ESP, that would be a killer in Gymkhana.

grab some photos when you are there.....or video

Actually another good tip I picked up from someone either here or on the tex, is tape the button on your handbrake pushed in. That way you wont have to think bout releasing properly, meaning you can concentrate on just the corner exit.

haha yeah or you get a smart arse instructor like I did who'd pull the handbrake round a corner when you didn't expect it

EDIT: I think he means co-driver in general, not just motorkhana.
