Default Another good day for the MAD boys

Topgear track Yesterday all the Top EVO cars present including the car that won Totb handling & the Norris EVO.
MAD cars were 1st & 2nd & guess what Mad man Shead beat Kev Atkins also from this board by .2sec , Mark did a 1 23.5.
A good 2 days for Mark who has now gone off for a well earned Holiday.
Bring on the Daddy Thrash where Mark & Ade will try to replicate this feat, bring it on.

The Stig did 1 24 in a SQ400 . Mark & Kev used Kevs car with 550bhp so the Stig is almost as fast with 150 less bhp . However hes done 7000 laps & Marks done about 7.
The fastest ever Lap is a 1 19 i believe.

It wont be on , was the first track day at that circuit as an experiment.
Think Kev & Mark are going to prepare the car for that circuit for next years event . Kev said lots can be found maybe up to 2 secs. Kev also said Mark wont win next time .
Mark ran his fastest lap in practice, so hyped up his eyes were out on stalks, must have been the adrenalin from 206 in the wet.

Well what an eye opener, I could not believe how much different the track is from watching it on the TV. You see very little from the bits they show, it's very hard to learn and remember with only TWO practice laps

The follow through..........well I kept it flat in fourth with no lift 130ish and fook me 4 wheel drift and touched the grass on the outside. Stig sure must know it well.

Mark drove my car like he stole it but hey I told him it was ok just do it.

Look forward to maybe getting invited back to do it again, this time with more knowledge of the track.

Awesome stuff well done!! Does Mark sleep at all between building and testing all these monster cars?!

Just shows how fast supercars are though as all round road rockets! i'm genuinely shocked, the Evo didn't top that lot. Perhaps i'm too use to all the super car slayering after years of being into performance turbo cars
