I am going on a trackday and wondered what speed I should be able to get to redlining in 3rd and 4th. Will there be enough room to redline in 4th?

Track is Rockingham by the way

Thats a good question. I was going to ask the same before Shakespears. I know its 6200 in first but the it increases through the gears. I didn't know this. It explains why Stiggy was getting better Terminal times than me. shoutRICHARD

its not variable redline mel, he's on about road speed. 4th speed redline at rockingham? Good luck even gettig out of 2nd unless you do the banked outer circuit!! You do realise rockingham is a tight twisty course?!

My terminal speed was higher for a few reasons.

1.) Power/torque
2.) 6400 red line - raised from 6200
3.) I spent my time concentrating rather than waving to gareth wink
