Naranja_Al Posted July 24 Author Share Posted July 24 Good thanks mate. Car performed well, need to sort my 3rd gear baulk ring - I’ll do that in the winter. Donny is a great circuit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's interesting.. mind you depends on overall gearing.. but I have found that depending on conditions I can be between third or fourth on a number of corners.. not sure which is quickest.. obviously I must try harder!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From memory our cars are similar bhp and torque levels. 10 minutes ago, Mole said: 5th down craner must be fun and 120 mph! It doesn’t happen often and only when my mate who races in the BRSCC Fiesta ST240 championship is sat next to me. Even then it is a little hairy for my talent levels! 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am certain you’ll be quicker & braver than me on track! 😆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
