Hamish Posted April 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2022 Cheers guys wonderful day where everything clicked including the weather. Dry sunny cool air temps. car certainly had a thorough test. The extra power was good but the changes in torque character were a real benefit. only 6-7 mph more over the line but the tyres really gripped and saw me through the corners and limited spin out of the corners my gauge is the class bogey time. This is a set time that at a good car and driver in that class could achieve or the fastest time actually set. I thought that 70.50 would be tough as it was over a second off my best- on a very twisty 1467metres So a 69.54 is mega for me. Hopefully the GoPro worked. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hi H, That is quite respectable. I used to cross the line at 82mph, but I am on a 3.7CWP in my TR6. Good work. Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TRTOM2498PI Posted April 11, 2022 Report Share Posted April 11, 2022 As a comparison, I did a single lap in 37.91secs @ 82MPH (not the figure of 8). This was back in 2016. A selection of other cars did the following:- A mid-90's BMW M3 was doing between 84-86MPH at 38.05secs (fastest time he did all day). Porsche Boxter (3.2l) = 36.83sec @ 92MPH Mazda MX-5 39.64secs @ 81MPH Nissan 350z - 42.79secs @ 77MPH Renault Clio 172- 39.55secs @ 79MPH Westfield (2.0l) - 35.81secs @ 89MPH I have done a few more improvements since then, so maybe able to knock a few tenths of a second off. Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Conradski Posted April 11, 2022 Report Share Posted April 11, 2022 That's a great result and a beautiful MAC champagne flute too. Hope it was filled several times once you were home. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
