Oh and I think tyres probably have a huge impact on speed - more so than bhp.
Yeah i think that too, when your there as a test see if you can hold a true 75mph then acelerating round the carosel and that was the slow time i went round and got chance to look at the speedo... (when i say true my speedo is calibrated digi within 1mph of real speed, unlike nearly every mini speedo)
i fully understand that my car does not have a lot of horse power.. but having lots of power does not make you fast or indeed quick...
Another interesting thing is if you look at the vids of me going down the strip the car i was against has a rolling road saying it has 69bhp at the wheels! so how did i beat it?
I really enjoyed my time round the track and for doing "around a 10min lap" was good enough for me, better than anbody that went in our group.
The caliber of cars i was racing and then overtook round the track is unbeilevable... for example... Civic Type R, Bini cooper s, elise, scoobys and evo's to mention some. I had passengers in with me to verify this.. but not that i have too because i have nothing to prove i am just sharing my experience...
as the saying goes "a average driver in a good/fast car is slower than a fast driver in a slower car"
It makes no difference to me if you are a good driver or not.. and i have not took offence to all the bull poo claims as to be honest if i didnt know me or was there to see it i would say the same
I am hoping to make combe in sept but as i have just walked out of my job of 6 years it depends on funds..
as for being on the high chair.. thats common thread police behavour and is typical of a spotty kid hiding behind there computer..
Like i said all along this thread was near meant be a how fast i/you can go round the ring it was a warning to anybody thinking they can drive to the ring and round on 032's/048's as they simply wont make it
