LOL at the stopwatch being bo**ocks...no amount of finger error would account for the difference in lap time between the two cars - maybe a few hundreths, or even a whole tenth, but not as much as the stated lap time difference was.
You're talking about the 'lip' that's formed on the edge of the treadblocks giving it a slightly higher point?
I've experienced that on many of my track and road tyres when used on track.
Spoke to some tyre sprecialist at the Festival of Speed last year and he said it was nothing to worry...
If you lost just 60 kgs (all would still be easily reversible) you'd see your power to weight increase from 110 to 116 per ton.
That's the sames as getting a 7 bhp, or 6% power increase assuming a starting point of 1,100 kgs.
I've stripped my Cup back to the bare metal, and think I've shed a genuine 70 kgs.
That puts me about 950 kgs and with 177.8 bhp my power to weight ratio is 187 bhp/ton.
The table below shows just how much extra horsepower the other RS models would need to keep up on a power-to-weight ratio...
Well, sort of.
Every little helps :approve:
I'm now at a solid 186 bhp per ton.
Got myself a nice 6kgs seat to go in next, hope to have that in before the Combe action day - and if that saves me 15kgs, I'll be somewhere around 190 :approve:
Waste of money? Cost more?
An ITG panel filter costs £47 once, and it lasts forever...or you could pay £15 for a paper one at every service.
You do the maths.
I've done probably 85k on mine now, and all it gets is a blast from Mike's air-hose at every service (6k).
As far as any...
