Mike 85.50 recorded round the West circuit in the cup racer...Just dug out my time! in the dry but V hot 30+ degrees so the guys said the cars were not breathing as efficiently as should be ( fast enough though)
Mike have a top day! i was there two weeks ago & it was red hot... The Jag is awesome... But the Clio Cup is Top as well bath have sequential shifts so keep your foot glued to the boards!!! let us know what time you post in the Cup! even if it is in the wet! Hope it stays dry ....
Just a rant guys I hope you are not all like the Pri*k on the M60 last night on my way home from work!! I drive a Cup no Cliosport sticker so maybe thats why I was probably subject to wa*k driving courtesy. All i did was join the motorway from the sliproad & the guy in a mkII valver or whatever...
i was driving a Cup racer at Bedford on Tuesday - i spoke to one of the mechanics about it. it has same engine ecu is upgraded. Much better exzorst system runs between 180-185 BHP. Second time i have driven one had it on the track for 20 mins. Though it does run on LPG... Managed a time of 85.50...
