Any news on Stef's car ?
I was at the RSOC meet today at Donington, spectating from Starkeys straight.
As Stef approached Schwantz curve his car gave out a nasty crack sound and coasted to a halt at McLeans.
I saw his car limp back to the pits later.
I hope everythings OK, and not too expensive.

Nah, nothing to worry about. His intercooler hose poped off, thats all. I spent the last hour sat in the damn thing having a laugh. We spent the last session playing with Gareth Lloyd in his escort cossie. He is a top driver.
Hey rich, i blew my rear diff up on my first lap on track, bollox.
I gave stef my track pass as it was undrivable on anything remotely looking like a corner.
Didnt stop me having a go at the 0-60 sprint though! If it's bolloxed it's bolloxed.
I set the second fastest time, 0-60 in 4.00 seconds. That was uphill on a pretty slippy surface so not bad for 2wd and a bolloxed diff.
The car that won, an <B>RS200</B> running about 500BHP. 0-60 in 3.98 seconds. 2 hundredths of a second for gods sake! gutted.
If it was 0-100 i would have won, no question, traction (or rather the lack of it) was a real issue for me.

could be wrong but doesn't the RS200 hold the world record for quickest production car (if you can call it that) 0-60mph, in something like 3.1sec!!! must have been a SLOW one!!
better get that flame suit on!!

No, it USED to hold the record for 0-100-0.
That was something with serious power, like 700BHP though.
I would have destroyed that RS200 in a 0-100-0 test. AWD gives huge benefits up to 60MPH.
I think the current record is held by a caterham R500. I could be wrong?? I wouldnt mind having a go at that actually. LOL

Thanks for that David, scared me as well!!
My car and I are fine, I just don't post as much that's all. Need to get a pc at home.
Oh, and David, perhaps the telephone would be a better way to find out in future?
Stef.

I thought it was your rs200 harj :conmfused:
or at least thats what yuo told everyone on chat.
I thought the caterham stole the crown from the mclaren f1, which pissed them off a bit, so they went out again in an LM (slower version) on a damp day, put in a bit more effort, and reclaimed it.
It was documented in top gear magazine.
That was some time back so th megabusa could have done it again.

On the 0-100-0 thing, I read an article in What Car about a year ago where some guys set out to beat the record, at that time held by a Westfield, using a stripped out Mclaren F1
They beat the current record, I think the time was 12.something.
Maybe its been broken again since.
Does anyone know the definitive answer?
