    Donington it is. I’ve never been to Silverstone so may try the GP circuit one day, I know Donington in a Ginetta and an MX5 and loved it. Craners may be a little slippy in December though!

    I seem to recall following @Lauren down there at near 100mph on a January day!

    There's a couple of us signed up for Donington National on Nov 1st.

    Aren't OEM quality I agree...... but they are sold as OEM alternatives, not "uprated" pads.

    Not sure I agree with you. Quote below lifted from the Eurocarparts website!

    They know well what they're playing, suggesting the parts are high performance.

    Brembo High Performance products meet the great demand coming from the market of race enthusiasts, who insist on replacing original brake systems with Brembo High Performance equipment. Enthusiasts in order to improve their riding style in terms of performance and safety while also improving the overall aesthetic appeal of their machines.

    Brembo is widely regarded as the leading manufacturer of brake systems in the World; it is not surprising that the majority of all performance and prestige car manufacturers choose to fit Brembo High Performance Brake Systems to their vehicles as standard.

    I used Carbotech xp8 pads on stock calipers & discs with upgraded fluid and brake ducts for a number of track days. They were great for around 5-10 mins, depending on the track, then became inconsistent. You couldn't really brake late as it was unclear what braking action you'd would get from the pedal.

    With the Reyland kit and ds2500 there's none of this, they just work the same throughout a 20 min session so you can brake on the limit and trail it in etc reliably.

    AFAIK should be no difference. Rear diff FD ratio differed a bit in MY2017 MT in USDM vs EUDM, but gearbox IIRC should be same. But japanese .. sounds like shipping from afar. That + heavy weight of item .. sounds to me like potentially very expensive shipping. I'd try first to find something more local, eg. UK/DE and such ..

    Jap performance parts are in Crawley, i.e. near London Gatwick

    Think somebody needs a supercharger 😁 That last video almost looked like the Elise was holding you up in the bends but there was no way you were getting passed on the straights (unless the driver decided to let you through) 'cus of the difference in acceleration.

    That's the issue with Bedford for me, there's too many straights! Rewards straight line hero's over corner speed.

    Doesn't look like there's a lot of room to fit a diffuser there with all that pipework. It would have to be custom whatever, and therefore cost a lot in money or time.

    It's right to point out you could lose more performance in drag than you gain in power from the cat back.
