Here are the results from the latest Vmax. Its all that has been published so far. The GTR time is a new UK record & suggests this car has circa 1200bhp. Congrats to all concerned its previous best was 218.1mph so an incredible step forward. Not sure if any Fords were present, I know Jimbo was going to enter but not sure if he did. My aim is to try & get a new generation of Ford owners interested in finding the limits of their Fords so i will keep you informed of future events.
