Im doing plenty of work.
As well as calculate the total power figure this week I have mostly been...

...constructing a full documented list of every car racing with the details of the teams, drivers, tyre choice, engines, test time, grid position and with a picture of each car.

I have also made a full news letter and drawn handy maps.

This is all to give out to our 43 man convoy so we have at least a little co-ordination.

The trouble is, Im not supposed to be working on Le Mans information packs, Im supposed to be fiddling with software, but dont tell anyone!

You see, i decided to refrain from replying to this thread... Even if i'd had the supercharger fitted by now i'd still only be at 200BHP...

The 120BHP should be at 130ish but is still being run in and hasn't been rolling road tuned yet....

i don't see anything wrong with the above figures... other than your car is producing the least!!! [sorry]

339-349bhp from 3 cars totalling 83 years old ain't bad in my book, especially when the combined age of the 6 passengers is only (approximately) 138!!!

Good man, like it was really an option to take the 4x4, has 'the wife' put her foot down and stopped you from borrowing it?

Though not in Karting Nord this year.
Hopefully in T.R. but you know what the ACO are like...

Anyone doing the Tuesday overnight crossing from Portsmouth - Caen ?
