Dads at the brighton speed trials in a fortnight in the Cerbera. He is actually competeing and although its a bit of fun it would also be nice to fly the Cerbera flag...

He is relatively new to all this standing start stuff and doesnt really know how to get the best out of the Cerbera. So then - how is it best to do the 1/4 mile, any tips for starts/ gearchanges/ which gear to start in/ rpm to start/ change up rpm etc etc...

All advice is much appretiated, we really want to get the best from the car possible and give the crowd a true taste of what a standard Cerbera can offer. We can do a few test runs using an AP22 performance metre - only bought it recently so only the smart has had a real work out*.

Thanks in advance,
Ben CA

*0-60 in 13.06 seconds - 3.39 seconds quicker than smart claim 1st gear to 3rd is the key!
