random family guy quote for you there!

I think Jonny C could well and truely fly the GTI flag very high for us guys at this. I, however can't make it (short of a miracle) and am gutted as I was proper looking forward to this from last year..

Shame mate, you were one of the first people I thought about when this came about!

[Shins]

Still waiting on confirmation as to whether this will go ahead, again due to the lack of interest!;)

Will keep this thread updated!

Ok, this event is a big thumbs up and this is where you have to act quick, so:

[To book your place at 30-130 on Sunday 8th March please contact Darin or Mechell at the MLR on 0845 12 526237. Places will be sold on a first come first served basis.

Please note we will also need your personal details for all drivers and passengers so we can get you Security clearance into RAF Marham. Without this clearance you will not be able to enter the airbase and the event. This will be taken in confidence.

I have targeted this event specifically in the GTi or R32 section as you have to bear in mind that any car coming has to be able to show at least 140mph on the clock (allowing for clocks over reading) and be able to achieve this run in roughly 1.5miles of runway! In other words, anything less than a quick hot hatch will probably be wasting their time!

The "30-130 and Top Speed" event was created to stop all the pub talk surrounding tuning and to understand 'real world' performance, and which modifications / packages really work, and RAF Marham is the perfect environment with 2800 yards of immaculate tarmac!

How does it work?
Using VBox technology each car enters the start box below 30mph and then accelerates hard so it exits at over 30mph and continues to 130mph as quickly as possible. There are no more rules - just do whatever you think is the fastest way of accelerating to 130mph - and on to a max speed if you want - it's all about being as quick as possible!

The GPS data logging records everything your car does - you can have as many runs as you can fit in and try anything you like, such as in gear times, 0-60, top speed, brake tests, etc and review all the data later, but for the purposes of this event we'll pull off the valid 30-130 times and top speed and display them on the results leaderboard throughout the day.

We've measured a few different cars over the years to put things into perspective - although we haven't measured a Scoob yet!

Simon Norris - Evo9SWB - 6.19
Porsche 911 Turbo (X50) - 13.44
Porsche 911 GT3 - 15.73
Ferrari 360 - 16.14
Skyline GTR32 - 20.01
Monaro - 33.91
Honda Accord Type R - 40.64

Here's the result from previous MLR 30-130 events;

I would have come and probably quite a few others. The problem is it is the same day as Ultimate Dubs as mentioned earlier in the topic.

[Shins]
