It's not chain drive on the tracksport afaik. I've driven the Challenge Cars - even managed to break a drive shaft I haven't driven the Star Cars.



Really you broke one!! I wasn't able to drive it at full speed due to the limiter being on it. After I do another session with them, they will take it off, part of the course programme. They told me that they hold the lap record down there of 38 secs. That was Feb though, so bound to be broken by now?

It would make a good PHers trip down there to book the cars for a few hours as its the closest thing to simulate the F1/Indy feel - dam fantastic!!. Comes at a price as always, its not cheap.


I had the limiter on as well. I drove about 30 laps. Best time was around 41-42sec, from memory (it was 18 months ago).

Goes to show how fast those Star Cars are if we were posting similar lap-times, you with a limiter and me with a slipping clutch (which was acting like a limiter - I had to short-shift all the time and eventually had a minor off as I was pushing harder and harder until the understeer got the better of me!).

Re the PH trip to do the Challenge - I'm a definite starter for that
