0-100MPH part deux

I was competing at the Stowe circuit at Silverstone on Sunday. The start was a straight line (for a change) and I had the opportunity of warm tyres as I had a 2nd driver with me.



0-100 time has come down from 7.87 sec at a dull Goodwood to a pretty quick 7.17secs at Silverstone. Now if I can find the time to get the flatshifter working we could go a bit quicker still

Not amazing to 60 but after that....

I was trying to be a little gentle off the line.

Imagine how much quicker it'd be with an IRS chassis.
Shall I deliver it Sunday :-)

In all seriousness, that's pretty awesome. I need some of that :-)

Would be nice to be in the mid to low 6sec to 100. Car is pulling almost 1G on acceleration in the first 3 gears.

Losing a second to 10mph, 6/10ths 90 -100, I guess you switched a gear for that slow segment

How do you keep the traction, just a practiced right foot?

So the box is a Quaife 60G, no traction control or flatshift (yet). Standard English Axle with a Quaife ATB.

This is what it looks like



The 0-30 isn't great but from there on....
