I'm desperate to get out there. Was mean't to be going to Snetty this weekend, but the plans fell through.  We're planning Snetty again for March time.
Ryan, Snetty would be good if you want to test top speed, as I think it's got one of the longest straights in the UK.

The hot hatch class had a low power 106 GTi and some lightly modded GTi6s in it, but also had longmans touring car engined 206s :lol: You came to the saxmax "ssc" meet didn't you?

Funk me Ryan, thats awesome results.
My only gripe would be the power at the wheels? only 143? so 30% transmission losses?

yep massive tranny losses, although doesnt bother me, the MAHAs seem to be the only system that calculates the figure individually on each car rather than almost every rolling road that uses the 18% margin iirc.
Either way the car on the road and track shows up alot, I just hope that the tweek to the map sees me over the 200 mark

i was at a saxmax meet or two as one with simo was at aswell.
the stock hatch class was the one I looked at going into if i got a job again, and could fund it, as seems more finanically a viable option into some form of compeitivie door bashing motorsport

think we allways know RR days are more about fun and optimising the cars set up rather than worrying to uch about figures.
The main thing was despite the tweeks alx had done to the map was that the overfueling was very apparent, and austec recon theres ALOT more in the engine if we can set it up right
