Already faster than some achievements over open distance at unlimited Vmax with as many runs as they'd like during the day

And of course I run for fun...I'd like to think that's the main reason any car enthusiast uses their car.

Of course, if you're asking to them enter for the sole purpose of breaking records....what would be the point when you know fine well there is virtually nobody in the Sierra Cosworth scene in the UK who stands a chance of breaking your record ?

So the only reason they'd ever enter...is to run for fun.

And this also assumes those running VMax would actually allow all cars to enter.

If you recall the Thunder Road event a few years back ( appreciate that was not a Vmax run event ) with the hungry cable eating rabbits...among other problems, if it wasnt for yourself speaking out from what I recall they werent even going to let me enter !!

Would have saved me a bloody fortune if I hadnt entered LOL



now that's seriously impressive, 211 mph in 1 km
