It was a good day. Nice to meet you Marty and thanks for the chance to run against the C32. You got some good footage there and your speedo cam setup very neat. What camera did you use on the clocks?

How did you fare on our run, were you pulling me in or not? What was your best speed in the end? I managed with persistence to match my previous persoanl best of 167 mph. I used about 56 litres of fuel on site at Bruntingthorpe

PS. An M3 (e46) driver that says he was chatting to you commented on PH that you beat him. Nice work!

@ wemorgan. That black 911 with the RUF wheels has a 993 turbo engine I think. Soon to have big turbos from what I caught of a conversation.

Graham your S4 performs really well, i'd love to know what you've done with it and how easy it is to tune an s4 in the way that you have!

Looks like you almost lost it at around 5:18ish!

 

[GrahamC230K]

That wasn't me. That was a somewhat more serious S4. 202mph on the day and wasn't running right due to bad fuel. He got a bit of wheel spin in 4th coming out the bend!

 

[Alps]

looked like a top day! you`ll have to let us know when the next one is!

I love that bit

They both must of left the start at the same time,the GT4 iirc hit 200mph and 2 miles later the mx3's only seconds behind or is it a mx5?

 

[buccal]

I'd def be up for trying the next vmax. Anyone else, Alps? Will? Howard?

 

[Will]

May-be, depending on details/dates etc

I can't see the videos, but is it this one?

The one on the left only has 767 bhp apparently. Looo-ser!!

 

[G-Force]

Awesome video...
Hat -off to matey in his MX-5 for his antics.......

Where abouts is this event? is it where TG is filmed?

 

[GrahamC230K]

It's the blue car in that pic above that was in the vid you are talking about. The dyno plot is for he RS4 you see in the pic above. The RS4 again was down on a lot of power on the day due to the bad fuel. The last time they buy race fuel I expect!
