Ibroker - I see you had a gorgeous yellow T350 before the CSL (and i think you took it to VMAX) - can you offer me any advice about Sunday?

Its my first VMAX - really looking forward to it but praying it doesn't rain.

Cheers

I am actually going on Sunday in the CSL.

I did see you on the list and was hoping to run against you to see the difference.

Tips for the day. None really. Its really easy going. The annoying thing is, however fast you believe your car to be, you still get spanked by something else. Great fun to see the actual difference in straight line speed between cars though.

See you there

Andy - saw you on the list too. I was wondering how the T350 will compare to the CSL (I am thinking about a change next year).

Hobo said that I would struggle for pace past 120. Still really looking forward to it.

See you there.

Cheers
Guy

When I say 'struggle' above 120, what I mean is that you'll find yourself changing into 4th, which in turn drops you out of the 'ideal' power band, at which point the the 'Exotica' will pull away like your stood still.

You'll still be doing around 150mph by the time you pass through the timing beams & assuming its dry you could keep accelerating a fair bit further before using the 'run-off' to brake. Cos they don't half brake quickly (which suprised me as much as the acceleration).

Much fun will be had.

Cheers Hobo - your talk of good brakes gives me a little more confidence...

I cannot wait!
