It would be competative but not a front runner. 210+ will be the winning speed at Vmax some very fast cars, you need 850+bhp in a Cos to beat that. The UK record of 223mph was set at this event, thats on another planet to what any YB can run or ever will run .

Engineering that went into it was great, but the engines were the weak point. He must have went through 3 last year plus if you can't drive well what's the point.
