Anyone at a hotel the night before?

Anyone else buying insurance for this? My insurer won't cover for track days

Nope.

 

[Peter DLM]

Nope. Didn't bother with TRAX track session either, though I had enquired.

I do insure my Caterham though.

Updated list now on the website Attendees

 

[Peter DLM]

I'm trying to get my buddy to bring his 1,400 hp GTR along. Should show that 850hp 911 what's what.

 

[JamesRan]

1400 BHP........why. Just why. That's more than double the power of mine!!!! Geeeeees Louise

Piece of cake if the track is dry

Just remember its only a mile straight.

We couldn't crack the 200 in Jimmys 820bhp E63.....hit 199mph.
And that was with a rolling start of probably 50mph.

 

[Peter DLM]

It's 1.5 miles at Woodbridge.

 

[Lee C63]

It's 1.5 miles at Woodbridge.

If its 1.5 miles then the braking area then a few should crack the 200mph i would think.

How long is the braking area?

Just looked on website and its 2.2 miles.....Happy days.
Wish I was home so i could attend!!!!!

 

[ChrisA]

It was 1.3 miles at Vmax Lee

 

[Peter DLM]

I've been gong to Woodbridge since 2001 for bike top speed events, it's always 1.5 miles with .7 to stop. Using the rough bits at either end are also optional extras.

Sometime it's a flying mile setup both ways for record setting etc.

The biggest deciding factor with top speed is always and will always be the climate. A puff of wind or a slight head wind or hotter/colder will negate your hard-earned 50hp or gearing change or whatever else you've spent £££ on recently.

And the corresponding .7 mile to stop at the end !!!
