WOW! Have you got a list of speeds and corresponding cars? Was that Jean's GT2?

GTRNICK

I will post all results and info about the day when it is available.

The GT2 was owned by Toby.

Damn - wish I'd known about this. Would have liked to met up with Toby and co...

GTRNICK

Next time Alex will keep you posted!!!

Bend to speed trap is about 1.3 miles I was told.

Here are some that are not listed and still need to be confirmed.





9FF GT9R with 1127hp - 222mph on 2nd run

9FF 996tt convetable with 1000hp - 222mph with roof up and 210mph with roof down

9FF GT850 with 850hp - 207mph

RUF CTR3 - 199mph

997 GT2 RStuning/cargraphic 660bhp - 196mph

LP670 SV - 194mph

SLR 722 - 193mph





So for me to run 193mph and keep up with the big boys toys makes me very proud of my car epecially having a passenger on every run and nearly a full tank!

Now the next goal would be to break the 200mph

Great post. Loved looking at all those cars. Sort of a "Toys R Us" you might say.

In the video - the 997 Turbo (albeit a modified one) very quickly becomes a dot on the horizon

GTRNICK

Yup thats my baby

What's the power of the tt?

GTRNICK

I'm guessing 550ish.

Following on from doing 190mph at the last standing mile event I went to I expected to hit the 200 mark for the 1.5mile vmax run.....

First run..... 196mph, second run........196mph, third run..........196mph

Houston we have a problem.

Car felt great but I expected more. Spoke with Jan owner of 9ff who suggested that my VTG equipped engine was overheating the VTGs, one reason why he doesn't use them.
I data logged the next run and VTG temps were controlled accurately by the program to 900DegC max so spot on there.....IATs were at 31DegC max....

When I got back Jean did a comparison graph for me compared to the last event, you can see below, I am losing serious hp from 4th gear onwards

Blue line is 1 mile drag event red line is vmax


The only difference I could think of was the fuel. The car is mapped on German Shell 100RON. For the first (fast) event I ran a tank of UK Shell 99 with NF Race octane booster. For this event I ran Texaco 97RON with a different brand Octane booster, Silkolene Pro Boost at 3%.....

So after Jean's confirmation that I am way down I wanted to confirm to myself that it was not the Bruntingthorpe surface..... I sneaked out and ran WOT to 183mph and logged IAT, EGT and timing.

Confirmed, the car was some 3 seconds slower going 155mph to 183mph than at the first event......

I have sent the logs to my tuner and am hoping the timing numbers reveal a retard situation (other than the driver ).... If they can't fathom out anything then I am a bit stuck, maybe a trip to zee fatherland !
