30-130mph day!
« on: January 21, 2010, 05:48:35 pm »
Hi guy's, just popping back on a few of the forums I frequent to ask any hot hatches if they'd like to come along to this event, held by the MLR at Raf Marham on Sunday 14th March! This filled quickly last year so get your details in quick to avoid disappointment!

As I recall there was about 3-4 GTi's that took part last year and did very well too! :happy2:

Gutted about this one.. Would have loved to do it but im away.. Going off some private testing results, the little GTI would blow away LOTS of those big power Evo's which would be pretty good fun!!  :wink:

now that to me makes more sense than 1/4 miles, it takes the drivers ability to drive off the line efficiently out of the equation.

shame you cant make that jonny. would have been good to see how she performed

30 - 130mph is about the best test you can have really.. Thats real world performance.. No BS 0-60 times etc.. They mean nothing!

I still think 1/4 mile times are a very good indication of a cars performance though, but your right, there is more chance of the driver having an impact on the times than a 30 - 130 test..

tis true, if we had identical cars there would be no way you would be able to keep up with me down the raceway cos of my supreme experience at traffic light gran prixs. :P

its a good point though. I could never match you times at the pod even with your car. Ability and technique are a massive factor
