Shows how mental Martins Escorts have been tho, considering he matched or beat all those times (IIRC) on normal road tyres and long 200mph gearing!

Here's a cool comparison that Datron did with my old car, it was not my best run. Harvey's 0-150 was probably spoiled by his spoiler.

Martin, do you have a programmable controller for the box that you can use to dial the power front to rear as its required, or are you launching by just setting a percentage and going?
