MJ-12 & Friends Do Oulton

A while back now, the Unit200 S2000 got its first track outing at Oulton Park UK. A wide selection of cars made the day from AWD Imprezas and Evolutions, RWD Marcos GT cars to FWD hatches.

The conditions were damp to begin with but throughout the day a nice, definitive dry line appeared.

The S2000 faired well in the damp conditions, with the back stepping out at speed, but the well balanced chassis giving plenty of warning and time for smooth correction; contrary to the usual internet rumour-mill tales
of being snappy.

In the dry the grip was plentiful and the sharp steering made the track a pleasure to drive on.

The day did highlight the issue of brake fade in the S2000 which suffered from overheating brakes quite quickly, despite the cool temperatures. Upgrades and development is forthcoming.

What is MJ-12?

You will only ever find exclusive material from a close group of owners on MJ-12 Automotive. You will not see the same links and videos over and over again as found on many other blogs. All core cars are road legal, and represent real life, attainable performance.

MJ-12 is not brand or country specific. It does not identify with, or favour any automotive scene over any other, but purely focuses on the activity of tuning to be able to drive faster and better. Real world, attainable performance is the goal here.
