Default Olly clarke - Gobstopper - Roger clarke motorsport

I realise this is basically a collation of reposts, but some people at the Berks meet werent familiar with the car, so I figured if they hadnt seen it, then others wouldnt have either so it might interest people.




The car:

The power graph showing the gains of up to 280bhp at the wheels from 100bhp shot of nitrous:

That car and Olly are amazing and I look forward to seeing them on Sunday Those power figures are interesting because I thought they had a lot more power than us

edited because it's wheel power and not flywheel power They have do have lots more power than us

this is a true testiment to rcm, watched this car at time attack racing a bike, lost on that occasion but the best time last year that ollie got would of beat the bike this year!!!

Im still yet to see the bogey of ND yet, on the tube its got a 9.2 1/4mile @ 162mph!!!

The only ford ive seen so far to be on the same level is the focus of AG, had much less bhp but you wouldnt think it when its giving it some round the track

I dont think it was on a push system then, but it may be now, it was running Revo's recently at one point I believe, they work quite closely with WoN from what I gather but have never actually spoken to Olly directly myself.

The way it spools that turbo up is asbsolutely immense, but not of much use to you as yours spools so well anyway, lol

Awesome car, its also an awesome set-up seeing them in the preparation area too... IIRC the motorhome/trailer/truck thing they have has the numberplate 3R on it and looks like its from the world of F1. Everything is so clean, modern, clinical looking, I know its not got a great deal to do with the performance of the car but it impressed me!!


Cheers,
Grant

Awesome to watch. Almost as amazing is the fact the Lotus Elise came 2nd to cars such as Ollie's - so much potential in the little plastic cars

This IS without doubt the BEST built car in the UK.

The thing can go out and perform and would still win a concours show if entered.
I was able to have a good look over this last year and its INSANE how well thought out everything is with the build.

Looking forward to seeing it run on Sunday at Brands if its running.

Last time yous two were at knockhill for time attack he was pulling 139 mph up the straight past the speed trap you were pulling 128 mph & you were still lapping quicker than him.

Awesome car tho & set up the truck is amazing as well
