If i can be a little critical of the footage, while it is great, and obviously free, would it be possible to include a wider selection of runners in the next video. The last vid only seemed to have a very few of the fastest cars in it.

Although the speedo will probably be reading 170 - it's a bit on the optimistic side biggrin

Can't see the Ferrari 575M hitting 200 unless you have uprated it in some way?

even an Enzo cant reach 200 at Brunters must be a lot of mods or its a 200mph car at the 4miles of Nardo. I will guess at low 180's within the confines of Brunters if its standard.

That's a shame. frown Given it hit 180mph at Woodbridge from a standing start, with the timing beams at just over 1 mile, I'd hoped we'd be able to touch the double-tonne. Oh well lets hope we can exceed 190+.....

Well, take Brunters as 1.6 miles (there's little or no gain from the top bend) and you assume that you do get to 180mph in a mile. At that speed you're doing a mile every 20 seconds, so the 0.6 miles you have left are over in 12 seconds. 12 seconds to gain 20mph at 180mph? Very unlikely.

I'd guess around 185mph unless the wind is helpful.

Hi Phil, Will we see you this VMax? Have you got a Whipple supercharger thingy yet?
DMS have reset my Limiter to 400kph.yikes.So that will give a bit more
leeway.hehe.
The last 575 at VMax managed 181mph, however I do not think the conditions were good, it was a 'friend' of Annisdad I think, maybe he may comment.

Might pop along with the camera and for a chat if I get time. Didn't get the Whipple as a new version is coming out. New exhaust though, but that might be a bit loud!

Glad that your machine is getting back on form. It's got to be nearly a year since it threw its toys out of the pram?
