Just checking the live results i love it how the fez is in the top speeds with the best of them!!! Bloody good effort must have big hairy balls though i bet it feels rather strange doing that speed!! Amazed, thats one hell of a fez though

Great time ! Amazing what a bit of polish can do !
As for smashing it, afaik the record was 181mph.
Disappointing that none of the Vauxhalls attended as their are 200mph capable cars out there.
Just seen Andy Forrest has done a run, be good to see what that can do !

For the power he has its a proper result,I'm not knocking it one bit ! there are cars out there with another 250hp so I'd of liked to of seen what their capable of going off what 500hp can achieve though !
