Hey all,

So I don't know how many of you guys are familiar with the 2.0T FSI top 20 leader board on the Vortex forum in the US??

http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=4605509

As the 2.0 TFSI/TSI engine is becoming more and more developed these times are really starting to come down! And as a result the competition is hotting up..

As the last few 1/4 mile meets have been quite a success and everyone seems to enjoy it I thought it would be a bit of fun to have something similar for this forum too? Obviously our times would also qualify for the main Top 20 over on Vortex, so a bit of UK vs. US which is never a bad thing  

We could have our own UK top 20 leader board (all times can be added to this now from the last year or so) and along side that the fastest car in the following categories..

* K03 Manual
* K03 DSG
* K04 Manual
* K04 DSG
* Aftermarket Manual
* Aftermarket DSG
* Overall Fastest

This way everyone has a fair chance of having some equal competition to run against.. The overall top 20 is great, but if your running a tuned K03 then you don't really stand much chance against the big turbo cars etc etc..

The rules..

• You must run a time at a 1/4 mile event in the UK and post up with your best run with an accompanying time slip.. If your in the top 20 then your added to the board, and if your top in your class then happy days!  

• The leader board is open to all cars (FWD & 4WD) produced as standard with the 2.0 TFSI/TSI..

• Cars should all run fuel purchased from the pump AND road legal tyres.. (this is to stop some guys turning up with race fuel and slicks and having a seconds advantage over everyone else)

Posting new times..

When posting a new time you should list the following:

• The time and speed that your car ran - with an accompanying time slip

• Gearbox type that your car has fitted - DSG or MAN (S-Tronic also falls under the DSG name to keep it simple)

• The turbo fitted to your car - Eg. OEM K04 or GT2871R etc..

• The ECU tune that your car is running - Eg. Revo S1 or GIAC or APR S2 etc..

• What tyres - R888's would be classed as TRACK / Pilot Sports would be ROAD (All tyres must be road legal)

• Your car Model

• Your name

Which should end up looking something like this

12.601 @ 115.85 - DSG - OEM K04 - REVO S2+ - TRACK TYRE - MK5 ED30 - JonnyC

So thats about it really, just for fun, but with a competitive edge to keep it interesting!!  

Have fun!!![/list][/list][/list][/list][/list][/list][/list]

Sounds good to me! I'll have to get my car down a 1/4mile strip asap hehehe...

[tony_danza]

Sounds like a heavy front of high pressure fail is moving over North America.

There needs to be more UK cars on that list. I think we're the people to put them there.

[MAT ED30]

Well now I guess.. Not sure where the thread should live though? Mods could help with that one?

[tony_danza]

Lets call this the discussion thread and make an additional one a locked sticky somewhere with just the results on?

excuse indeed lol could do so much better now, just need to get back to the pod ! ill dig out the timeslip later

Would it be fair to say we'll only accept times from a Pukka FIA drag strip, like SantaPod.

i.e. no using your iphone and a £1 app to measure you going down a steep sliproad and claiming that...

Ha.. Well yeah I would say so.. Santa Pod, York, or any permanent track etc.. Somewhere with proper timing gear, flat and preferably a 1/4 of a mile long.. The last two were for the US boys 

[DanGB]

This is obviously highlights driver ability on a 1/4 mile a well, surely youve got an advantage if youve already done 20 runs and several days on the strip.. personally I think 1/4 miles are a waste of time but thats just me 

[Janner_Sy]

I like the idea of this. especially as i have a k03 and its all small and puny.

I too think there is a large elemnt of driver ability in quarter mile runs. I d be more interested in the events where you rolling starts like 30-100mph.

Still will have a go at the pod when i get my diff. R888s count as road tyres as well dont they
