888's worked better, just barely hanging on in 5th gear, but they still let go a little around 180mph.
Blimey....that is pretty scary!

My friend took his Mac F1 to brunters and did not break 200 mph. He had the full Maclaren support package with him. He has since acheived the highest customer recorded speed though on an autobahn.
