The track is quite difficult to drive, I did a sprint with the MLR a few years back and remeber shouting to the passenger which way does the track go, Anyway I won itand beat the owner of the car I was driving by 1.5seconds.

Kevs Evo 6 I dont know where but after 5 laps I still think the car and me could go 3 seconds a lap faster.
And now with its tweaks sorted for this year I am sure it could be a match for most of the road cars there but it is now a all out track car but it can drive over a spead hump.

It prob wouldnt but it would be fun trying, Cars with big power are suited to the track as there is a few good straights.

I think Rods would pull 160mph without to much problems but I think the brakes would get a hard time.
