I must have feckin shot out of that corner then!! Still only got to use a small bit of 5th! I spose I can brake a bit later too due to lighter car, and due to being a little mad

an indicated 135mph on the speedo in a UK MY94.

I know the speedo is out but unsure of how much, it was running on 215/40/17s rather than the OEM 15"s. For comparitive data last time I was there I could only just manage 120 if I left the braking very late - Previous visit it was running a unichip and a full decat this time it was/is running a PFC, a high flow cat and has been stripped so a few kgs lighter than before. Shame I only managed two laps before being black flagged.

Just to add the STi managed 125...just, with exiting the hairpin in third.

Thumbs up

Not last week, my mildly tweaked S2 Elise hits 125-130 down the back straight, think it would take another 2 miles to get it to go any further

Craig you guy's joined LOT?
