Cheers, was quite happy with result even thought I lost but at least I tried and did make a excuse like most would.

Was that the whole race? Or was it "edited highlights"?

I guess that having the view from behind makes it difficult to see how far ahead Ben got. But you can see the Pug hit the torque coming out of that first roundabout and the 16v taking off at high revs!

Is it me, or did the cars seem to be going really slow? Maybe its becuase I didnt get sound with it.

Was there a standing start too?

 

[Ben j]

if u watch the rev counter on the film car (its a 172, ull see how quick we were going!)



funky, it couldave been further if i planted it properly at the start! - i started at low revs bout 2000 - 2500 thats y i was so slow to start

 

[Neilvx]

Standing start with the 172 sounding his horn to go
