The Topspeed set that day (201.8mph) has never been beaten by another Cosworth except this one. I have a vid running 187mph in 3/4 mile with 900bhp back in 2006. This was the fastest the car got & we reached the limit of what could be run for 30secs @ 100% WOT. You will have to wait 6 months to see if the latest engine allows more than 900bhp to be run the full length of Brunters. Its easier in a 8sec drag car than in a 35sec 0-215mph run in a road car.
