Default Today's Pod results for FWD

Heard Stu Collins and Crazycage couldn't break out of the 13s today but there's a couple of FWD Fords running mid to low 12s. A mk2 Fiesta and Puma both ran VERY quick apparently.

Should be interesting to see tomorrow!

Garys car has done a 13.5 at 118, the box keeps locking out of gear. Best chance is going to be in the morning when box oil is cold. Fastest was a mk2 fiesta with 12.6 @ 116/7

I was there today in my Golf diesel:

13.9 @ 102mph not bad for a 1.4 ton car

I guess the only the way to improve is more power, less weight etc
But I'm pleased with getting into the 13's

Great result Bobby, I often wondered how your increased power would work on the road in real life, and that proves it. 5 years ago at Pod, my old Saph Cos running 300 ish bhp at the time only did 13.2 @ 100 ish. As in your Golf is as quick as my Cossie was one year Not fast for a Cossie, but still plenty quick enough in reality, and then your Golf oil burner is doing the same times near enough

Excellent

Bobby I bet you could shave 0.2 off your 60ft, which could equate to upto 0.4 off your total time IMO.

That's my mates car we were saying about before, me and Clarke came down in it




Made 330bhp @ 20psi the day before still not fully mapped. Quick car. Did 12.9 @115 in full street trim, Toyo Proxes, loads of camber and full leather seats and a stereo. Fair play!

He's up for TOTB Ford team as well

My cars going to be ready for Classic Ford day on the 6th of June, Alex (mk6 owner) is hoping for 400 by then.

Guys im really impressed with the Ford cars (FWD) running in the 12's. Things have obviously progressed.
I know Paul R and Tim were in the high 12's many years ago but that was just two cars that i knew about.

Well done

AJC - What's the full spec of the Fiesta? Does it even have an LSD? And what tyres?

It's a very very impressive car.
