Mk3 Golf VR6 in ITS

[anthony1k]

Any opinions on how competitive the Mk3 Golf VR6 could be in ITS?
TIA

While I am by no means an expert on Volkswagens, that car would probably do ok.
Until you had to race against a well prepared E36 BMW.

But it would be a fun project.

isn't a corrado a MK3 platform?

I believe Bildon was pretty succesful with their Corrado in ITS, not sure how the specs of the cars differ. Just going by eye, but the Corrado looks like it has a lower roof, which would be an advantage. Similar to a MK1 Rabbit and Scirocco

I *think* that the Corrado actually is a MkI...

My understanding is that the Mk3 Golf VR6 is mechanically identical to the Corrado VR6. The GCR seems to suggest that also. From what I can find on the web, the Bildon Corrado had a successful but short-lived campaign. I think I'll drop them an email.

I don't have illusions that this car could beat the e36, all else being equal. I'm more interested in something that is rather low maintenance but could place well given the right conditions, like a very wet track.

Nope, the 'rado is a Mk2 and actually shares common steering knuckles with a Mk3

In the GCR the Corrado and the Mk3 look totally indentical. Can this be a mistake?

It's awfully nose heavy but with ECU's being free now I think it could be a decent car.
VW tends to leave a lot of untapped potential in their motors that good computer tuning will bring out.
