Was watching 5th Gear, and was surprised at times of the road cars they was testing, also doing a web search I found this site. http://www.fastestlaps.com/track42.html showing fastest lap times for various cars, it did surprise me though both the road going TVR's the T350C and the Tamora was both quicker than every TVR in the last race we had at Rockingham, including Mike's race Cerbera and Andy's LS Race Sagaris see http://www.tsl-timing.com/brscc/2010/103432.pdf we seem to be using the same track. maybe I'm just missing something.

Those time are either bks or a shorter track. witt gamski's F430 GTC was doing 1:22.9 this year at rockingham on the same circuit we ran.

and the fastest Palmer audi's only 1:17.9 with nigel moore at the wheel so I cant see a TVR T350c only being 1.5 seconds slower than Nigel moore in a slicks and wings racing car..



the race boxters were doing something like 1:35's

Im also fairly certain that layout was never run before 2007 so the T350 times in 03 would have been a different layout.. the shortest we've done was 1.62 miles and about 1:13 which sounds more like it.

The Track looks the same layout,
But if you look at says its 2736M we was racing on a 1.94 mile Track so 3122M.
Just looked at the track lengths and the times are for the National Circuit, but they show the picture for the International Super Sports Car Circuit which is what we race on.

Totally different circuits Leigh. The picture of the circuit at the top of that page is not representative of the circuits used

Thanks Andy, I had worked that out, after a bit more research, but stupid showing the wrong picture.
