fil46 Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 First time out for me at cadwell park and loved it , quaified 1.37 got a 1.34 race 1 and got right on it in race 2 with a 1.31.048 vid from race one it gets good after the safety car Quote
Speed Freak Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 at 17m10 I think I would have pood in my pants-pushed into the grass at well over 100mph...- and then at 18m42 the same guys cycle wing decides to depart flying past you! you and the other car (caterham I believe) were very similarly matched- seemed like he had a quicker up and go from lower speeds, but you had the advantage at high speeds- the yellow car is a beast down the straights-what sort of power is he pushing out? 600+?

Andrew Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 The other seven is a live axled Westfield.. There's nowt between them for straightline speed is there. Bet Garry in the other Westy wasn't too chuffed with the safety car. Good stuff Phil. There's a vid from the Simon Allaway Esprit up too.. it's a bit of a monster.. Quote
Speed Freak Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 what engine setups are the westfields running? High end duratecs? I know everything looks different on a video, but they looked extremely rapid. Quote
Andrew Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 what engine setups are the westfields running? High end duratecs? I know everything looks different on a video, but they looked extremely rapid. I'm sure Phil will confirm, but as far as I know, neither are Duratecs. Phil's is a Vauxhall (260bhp Phil?), and Garry's white car is a very high spec Zetec. Quote
fil46 Posted September 11, 2013 Author Posted September 11, 2013 My car is vauxhall powered steel bottom end big valve head, 2 litre with 275bhp 200lbs torque, and independent rear axil. Garrys car is a 2.3 zetec with about the same power and a live back axil. top speed was 132.8mph down the back straight. Quote
Speed Freak Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 well I didn't do very well did I! First thinking it was a caterham in front, then thinking duratec power- You hear all the time of big numbers from c20xe's and duratecs, but those hp numbers from zetecs are huge! Those cars were rapid. Quote
