No, no, no.

To put it briefly, the amount of combined BHP and torque required to negotiate the 'ring in 7:00 mins flat is hereafter to be known as 100NC's.

Therefore, to do it in the time posted by Dazza, of just below 7 minutes would suggest that hes has a little over 100NC's, in fact, his time would suggest that he has exactly 1NC more. This is a scientific method of measurement which can be applied to more than just BHP and torque figures. Think of it as a performance car FTSE. In fact, that's quite a good analogy, as things in NC's can go up and down, just like share prices, but in a well oiled economic climate everything should be in the pink.

It's inverseley proportional, something akin to decibels and the theory of relativity. In fact, the more you think about NCs the harder it gets

I reckon to do a time like 6:33 he must really be stretching the limit of his current NC quotient, probably to something around about 108~109 NC

in that case it's 106.8NC to the nearest decimal point but we wouldn't want to split hairs, would we

...and there's me thinking size didn't matter and that a few NCs here and there made no difference. Obviously Dazza is hitting evey apex in the right spot with his joystick. I wonder if he has vibration turned on?

does he stick it to the table with suckers or has he got the attachment to use it between his legs...?

Mind you, I could be talking steering wheels...

Al lurks, nods knowingly and pees himself, again.

I think the buzz is from the crack on his joystick.
He needs to apply plenty of lube to ensure that the crack remains slippery. Not too much or his hand will shoot straight of the end and do his NC quotient no good at all.. might even poke Neve.. It's in the wrist action you see.. I've seen a few drivers kindly show Dazza how the action should work.. Might shave even more off..

Hope so..
