I have received confirmation from Charlie that we can run a RR day on Saturday 31st May.

Full address to be confirmed but it is in Farnborough, Hants, near Wickes / B&Q so close to town centre to drop off the wife/girlfriend to do the shopping wink

Here is a link to the first dyno day we held there http://www.pistonheads.com/gAssing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

You get 2 or 3 runs on the dyno / rolling road, an AFR check and a variety of printed plots of your engine output, eg power and torque at the wheels, estimated crank output etc. Lunch will likely be at a decent local pub such as the Brickmakers in Windlesham which we used twice last year.

At up to 10 cars for the day it will be £40, over 10 cars £35.

I would hope to get circa 15 cars in between 9.30am and 13.00pm with a run circa every 15 mins.

Please post your name, car, time preference, whether you want lunch and how many for lunch.

Lunch will be circa 13.00-13.30 depending on numbers running.

So far I have a small mix of 986/987/981 Boxsters.

Sounds good, but Is a 997 turbos allowed (if I remember from last time you couldn't test them)?

Thanks!

Cooling was the problem with Turbos. Charlie would only run his own car.

Hi, I will be up for it with a friend.
That will be 2x 996 GT3s....and possibly (tbc, if I can find a driver!) a 996 RS as well.

Hi Tanvir - you were going to come on the last one I organised but unfortunately had to cancel. It would be great to see your cars there. Any preference for a time slot?

Yes, I was feeling a little guilty of asking again.
Charlie has so much historic data on my cars its the only place to go for not only a good quality run but also comparative view on how they continue to perform.
This time round I wanted to compare with a friends car but on the same day so that we even out any ambient weather differences too....too much fighting talk on who is the quicker driver!

I think an earlier slot would be preferable. I would need either 3, or 4 consecutive slots.
The 3 cars I mentioned earlier. I could also bring a E39 M5 which I have been threatening Charlie with some some time. However, only if non Porsches are ok, I am not being too greedy, and there is low demand from others on this forum.

We had a C4S last time, so that should be fine.

No need to feel guilty. At least you told me before hand. We're up to about 10/11 cars now but bring the M5 anyway why not! There's a concurrent thread on boxa.net but I will amalgamate the full list so it's easier to see what cars are running.
