I have one list but the lunchtime list which gets handed round didnt get returned to me for the first time ever.

If anyone has it could you please get in touch.

I have the 2nd list however. If anyone knows what their speed was from the board or from a verified GPS (not speedo then let me know as I'm starting to compile the list today.

Rods Im sure you did 203mph

Hi Craig thanks for a great VMax day yet again.
I gave the list to the tall chap [sorry forgot his name] who works with you at the start area he put it in his car.


198Mph VBox and trap. Rod was 203mph as was the GT40.

Mark.

167 in the CSL she didn't have any more to give.

Mirage did 206 just before lunch. The misses face was a picture when she climbed out the passenger seat.

Indicated 170 in the porka. Ran out of space for anything beyond that!

No idea what that relates to in real speed though.

I did 200 MPH indicated which was 190 MPH on the board.

I did 203 MPH indicated twice but was without passenger so didn't see the board so would like to know what I got in the end. 192 I would think.

I am sure the 203's were in the afternoon.

In any event happy to be the the first E60 M5 to hit 190 MPH verified.

I managed 3 runs at 170(165 roof off) in the SLK so I think that's all it had to give.
Sarah did 163.

All from the board's.

We are looking forward to the next , now to convince her we need more power ;-)

Any idea on the speed of the green TTRS Craig, there's a youtube video of it doing 200mph indicated..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZtvDTGSwaY

Yes, very impressive for having 'only' 500bhp.

Hello Craig

When will the list of speeds be published? As I (and no doubt everyone else) is 'itching' to know how there pride and joys compare.

Ian
