A proper race -prepared car may make better use of the bend, but it takes a street car a few hundred meters to get straight if they use all the bend & a fast car can acclerate from a standing start in the same space.
Fastest time at Brunters last year 205.8 was from a standing start. I think mine was second fastest & it used the bend.

Andy. Vmax runs are a good way to test the integrity of the engine build and make sure the map is OK, don't you think.

Is there a speed limiter on a bugeye MY01? cause mine wont go past 155 mph and it has something like 300 hp. But it goes there quickly. If there is such one can it be unlocked?
