This is me taking my Ibiza around Knockhill on a Track Scotland trackday.
Apologies for the poor camera mounting, I will try and find somewhere better next time!
I had Toyo R888s on at the front, they were amazing! Really got good heat into them even though it was damp.
And just to add my brakes were possibly the worst brakes I have ever experianced... Hence the ridiculously early braking.

Nissan R35 GT-R in car footage Knockhill trackday wet weather Video 1
Video 1 of 2
A video captured from inside my Nissan R35 GT-R at a very wet and miserable Knockhill trackday in November 2009, one of the Track Scotland events.
The Nissan GTR is running 575 BHP and was on Dunlop SP 600 Summer tyres with zero grip and the following mods:
GTC Full Titanium 90mm Race Exhaust system and Y Pipe
80mm Catless downpipes
Cobb Custom Tune
Whiteline suspension tweeks Set up for the dry ;)
Sadly what you don't get to see is the car sliding off the kirbs and the handfulls of opposite lock having to be applied on a regular basis to keep it pointing the right way.
If you listen carefully you will hear the back end spinning up at 120 mph+ going over the crest of the hill on the straight and hopefully the video will show the amount of times the back end was breaking loose due to lack of grip.
Roll on the dry weather and some decent rubber.
Thanks to Andy for the video

Seat Ibiza Cupra
TAKING to a race track might not be the best way of judging a new hatchback's all-round ability.
But with 178bhp and all the technical knowhow of the Volkswagen-Audi Group behind it, an early on-track appraisal of SEAT's upcoming Ibiza Cupra—due in showrooms in October—was hard to resist.
Upon my arrival at the Bedford Autodrome, near Milton Keynes, one SEAT employee wasted no time in describing the upcoming Cupra as a "technological tour de force," very French for such a proud Spanish manufacturer (albeit with serious dose of Germanic influence nowadays), but setting the scene nonetheless.
Among the systems marking the Cupra out as an up-to-date interpretation of the hot hatch breed are: VAG's award-winning turbocharged and supercharged 1.4-litre engine; a seven-speed DSG sequential paddle-shift gearbox; and XDS, a differential-mimicking system working in tandem with the car's stability programmes.
The only thing more advanced than the Cupras electronics is the maze of satellite-based VBOX equipment and cameras installed inside the car to record everything from speeds, to lap times and G-loadings when I take to the track. Take a look at the attached footage to see how I went on...
The yellow Cupra waiting in the Autodrome's paddock area stands well, sitting 10mm lower than the Ibiza Sport and 5mm lower than the cooking hot Ibiza FR, on 17 inch alloy wheels.
Available only in SC (three-door) guise, the Cupra features dramatically revised bumpers with broader, deeper skirts and air intakes at the front and a large centre-exit Exhaust, bringing it in-line with the Leon Cupra, at the rear.
