Not really no cause both cars that walked away with the races (Plato/ Jackson) were the fastest through speed traps also FWD with engines in the front .... you porky guys don't have organisers messing about with boost levels either do you?
So as we know that some cars run with more boost we can make an assumption that more boost equals better torque out of said corners....
Bye bye - silly mistake to have made on my part.

No need to be funny about it, its just that you don't have boost levels that can change race to race due to your lap times from previous ones, its a huge difference, your issue is down to driving not because the guy in the other identical (within reason) Porky has more boost than you....
Your series comes down to driver and set up ability..

Not being funny fella, but Pete RS posted a very good comment regards the speed traps being rather meaningless results and stated how Plato was so quick was due to a very good car underneath him. Pete (from what I have read on here) is an accomplished racing driver, it's like you dismissing advice on football from a Premiership manager. Listen to the guy, I imagine he knows a thing or two wink

You think he's a nutter for discussing his opinion on a discussion forum? You're weird.

Good point.
Be pretty dull if we all agreed on all the same things, or forced to, like China....

I was pointing out to Pete that lucky for him he dosent have an issue where by the people he is racing against have more boost / torque / horsepower due to the fact they were slow last race. If you read his original post he actually said it was his own driving that was letting him down..which it pretty much will be in one make racing give or take someone with better set up or a bent car...(come on it happens biggrin)

The simple fact is this:

Does the MG have more boost than the Honda / BMW and the rest bar maybe Mat Jacksons NGTC Focus?
Surely someone can answer that simple question because right now i believe that it does. If the MG is running same boost as the Honda then i dont see why Plato cant take the time to let us know, i mean he has posted info on here.
Im sure alot of folks would be keen to know if they are running same boost level...regardless of who they support.

Ollie Jackson has explained already that the Golf is at maximum, so which cars are running max and which arent?
We should as fans know this info each race weekend considering the boost increases for the cars are like an Athlete taking performance enhancing drugs, al be it within the rules of BTCC.

No. But it would make people happier if you'd just shut the fk up.
