<< < (17/79) > >>

Janner_Sy:
how many runs do you reckon you'd be likely to get.

Im tempted but im guessing id be a wheel spinning mess off the line in mine. not really into traffic light gran prixs. normally short shift to second if i boot it off the line so that i have more grip. what s the technique then.

I would say 3 or 4 in the morning and the same again in the afternoon.. Thats without making any real effort, if you want to do lots of runs then I would say you would probably be able to do the best part of 16-18 over the course of the day..

Ill only be doing 2 or 3 all day..

You only need around 2500rpm to get a FWD (on road tyres without a diff) off the line well, just control the wheel slip, so that you have slip (bogging is as bad as lighting them up) until 2nd gear then so long as your hooked at that point nail it and go..

It all really depends on grip levels though, all of the cars will vary massively..

Janner_Sy:
2500 :surprised:  id have prob gone to 3-3.5k if you hadnt mentioned that. i might have to have a try at that when i get a nice dry day and clear roads. see what its like.

f*ck it guys ill be there work dependant(i normally know in advance if i have work on though so should be good to go)
