That should be well achievable in your car on such a very fast circuit ; my mate's 50 year old Alfa with 1/3rd a QV's power
managed a 1:34 around Thruxton last Saturday in the 'Swinging Sixties' series.
We got down to 1:28 in Future Classics (not 2019) but are definitely wasting time and should be quicker. Thruxton is a demanding circuit.

1m.30.6s. excellent morning on the track.
Congratulations, that's a huge improvement. Do you have video footage?

Actually I was stunned you could achieve 1:30.6 on second visit until I looked up Lotus Exige 410. Wow what a machine - must be close to the ultimate road-based track car. On List 1B road tyres, would get in the very low 1:20's and should be under 1:14 (ie quicker than BTCC) on slicks.
