Looking forward to seeing you and it at Combe in a few weeks

right on Folly bend, just looking at my gearbox calculater i'm doing around 110 then climbs to around 125'ish up the hill

140 though folly, is going to feel pretty fooking quick in that car

hoping to make this day so hopefully can grab a passenger ride

Robs astra is doing about 130mph through folly and likes to have a little bit of a backend twitch on the way which is a bit unnerving

Neils westy spun off there when he had the hammer down on a damp session, and thats only 300bhp.

If its wet, I feel sorry for anyone going out in Lee's on his first go

Hi Jim, this Gt30 variant looses nothing low down to a T34 but mid range and top end is another story. When its finished a graph may be available

650bhp per tonne is madness. I don't know if I dare look at it, let alone go in it - it might want to "take me outside" if it thinks I'm staring

PUSSYCAT to drive Mike. Trust me!

Looking forward to you driving it Mate. Seeing what you think.

Some serious GT2 and GT3 Porsches are gonna be needing to get the FUCK outa my way when I take it to the Ring

Think you will find its about 675bhp per tonne by the way
