Anyone else following the updates on FB? Some proper tasty machinery ![](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/roi.gif)
One fella with a 1k bhp ultima just done 203mph - and got a tshirt for his prize![Surprised](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/bigcry.gif)

I can understand that insurance would be horrific if spectators went but I'd love to watch this at some point.

Its actually called Vmax quicksilver this weekend.
Ive tried advertiseing this event for about 5 years with zero interest.
Love the 1000bhp Ultima just cracking 200mph must have had his brakes on. Even a Sierra Cossie needs less than 750 to run that speed
.
The Porsche goes into second spot all time at Vmax with that run thats about what a 1000bhp car should do![god](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/dieu.gif)

I think a Ford from here was going to enter not sure if it did.
This is the best event for showing off your car & its Power lets hope we can get my Cossie in the mix in 2014.

Too many damn supercars, it's a shame there isn't less expensive stuff going for it, would make it interesting.

sorry rod - the group on FB is called VMAX 200, you're absolutely right this event is called quicksilver.
There's a pagani zonda there, looking awesome in yellow! I was also wondering if it was that fella Brad's V10 R8 as there's one that's flip painted but thought he'd changed his.
Whilst barring a lottery win I'll never own anything remotely capable of being competitive at an event like this as a car geek I love it.

As it's invite only they pick and choose who goes. I remember a few years ago Bill Brockbank going in his Seat Ibiza with IHI turbo conversion, everyone laughed at his little yellow shopping car but after a few runs of beating Ferraris and Astons some wouldn't line up against him.

Just to back up my story.

This was posted in 2004, and predates the vmax site
http://www.vmax200.com
where all the runners & riders are listed starting vmx no4!. (the 1st 3 events aren't listed,pre March 2004)
We had Badger Bills extremily rapid very yellow Seat Ibiza at the last Vmax, it really was astonishingly quick on acceleration- like Ferrari 360 quick!! & its 160mph top end- considering brick like aerodynamics was rather impressive!

I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!

Did Badger tell you that he sometimes talks a fast car
. If your going to come on here dissing an event I love & take an interest in, best to get your facts right. Only one Seat Ibiza has ever entered Vmax it came 28th with 162mph on 20-11-2005 dont think too many Supercars were shaking in there boots
. Its not invite only anyone can enter but you will need to follow Craig on Pistonhead to know when to apply.

Love it.
The slower car is about as fast as mine & the 9E simply drives away
![Surprised](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/bigcry.gif)
Its the second fastest car in the uk.

At 60 was about 2/3mph slower than Mark exactly the same as Ade who didnt run as fast as Mark at Brunters either. Mark was a brain dead idiot on these runs.
When ive run & hopefully run past 210mph then im open for others to drive as the record should be pushed near 215mph. Thats beyond my capabilities im afraid.
Heres Brain dead running 202mph in the pouring rain.
