pete g Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 any one know what is the top speed expected on this circuit. Quote
Andrew Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 It will obviously depend on the layout used, but my 170bhp car reaches 120mph, so it will be interesting to see what 250 to 300bhp monsters top out at! ..are you thinking about gearing? Quote
pete g Posted February 22, 2014 Author Posted February 22, 2014 yes now I have dropped to a 4 speed its a little more critical to fit the right diff ratio. Quote
John Loudon - Sponsorship Liaison Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 It depends on the layout being used Quote
Andrew Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 It depends on the layout being used According to the regs, it's the International super sportscar circuit, without the hairpin. Quote: Rockingham Course length starting after the School Pit Lane Exit on the School Straight is 1.6 miles consisting of a tarmac surface 12-18m wide on the International Super Sportscar Circuit and finish mid-point between Gracelands and Tarzan Corners. Cars return to the Paddock via School Pit Lane Entry. This circuit: http://www.rockingham.co.uk/about/rockingham-circuits.php 140mph plus? Quote
FILFAN Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 Wish I could make this one. Unfortunately the car wont be ready Quote
simon besant Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Me too the old V8 could stretch its legs there!! Oh well next year Quote
pete g Posted February 25, 2014 Author Posted February 25, 2014 ALL THE UTUBE VIDEOS ONLY SHOW ABOUT 120MPH MAX Quote
Mark (smokey mow) Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 That seems about right Pete Quote
stephenh Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 I've just posted my entry today, hope it isn't already fully subscribed. I can't imagine it will be full so early in the season. Who else is going? Quote
AdamR Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 I reckon at least 130. I crept over 120 (GPS reading) with a passenger, about 30-50bhp less than you guys and knackered rear tyres. The data shows I could have kept my foot in round the banking too... (Skip to approx 12:00 mins) Quote

Pilot Pete Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 My 1.6 civic creeps over 120mph at rocky, that's on the gps data logger too. That's 217 ponies and 945 kg's on 888's so not exactly owt special. I would imagine something with more power and a lump less weight is going to be significantly quicker! Quote
pete g Posted February 26, 2014 Author Posted February 26, 2014 seen footage of bikes and they only seem to reach 120mph Quote
