Lap record is 56.09 by ex F1 car.

Super Bikes down in the 1.05 area

Seat TDI touring car in the 1.11/1.12

I guess anything under 1.20 is very good for a road car.

Yep, im up for that mate.

Probably wont be there right at the start, but you can always have a couple of practice sessions on low boost first anyway.

Ive got wideband and det cans with me but no tools, im guessing you dont even own a spanner, but im sure we can borrow some
