New topic as other one was locked

How nice it was to drive today with not a spot of rain allowing me to enjoy all my horses...I'm sure a lot of you were equally as delighted with your drive.

Happy Motoring folks

Yes, even an "old" M3 is better in the dry!

 

 

p.s. extract from the BTCC Techical Regulations

Transmission

A TOCA supplied clutch and 6-speed sequential gearbox must be used. The ratio for first gear is fixed; the remaining 5 gears can be selected for a set of 26 available ratios. The race car must remain front- or rear-wheel drive as per the road car. Four-wheel drive is not permitted. Any form of traction control is also banned.

 

so there!

Cats know your every thought.

But don't care.

it's awright for some that have a car to drive in the wet or dry

mine has been tucked up in henry bros since wednesday(some of you would say that's the safest place for my motor) new coils required, yesterday they've found an ABS speed sensor gone wrong, now today it's a wheel bearing and they won't have that til monday

I'm anxiously sitting waiting to hear when I'm getting a courtesy car (320d) and when I get it I'm going to screw the nuts right out of it

Once a sport for men............now for boys.


900bhp+ what planet are you from....thats 6 maybe 7 or 8 times maybe more powerful than your E30.


For boys is it? Well I suggest you get behind the wheel if you ever get the opportunity and realise how hard it is; with the G's pulling you whilst controling the car makes driving a normal sports car look like a supermarket trolley (except Asda as they have cool ones )

I suggest you have a little look at this site which shows 1986 BMW turbo engine in Benneton Producing 1300BHP NO ELECTRONIC AIDS.

EDIT; Youve got to agree, the drivers are getting younger and younger.

Why would I've said otherwise chum....a good friend of mine worked on the designing team for BAR,headhunted straight out of uni in 2000

Through his contact within the setup I had the most amazing opportunity to sit in the front of a test car which had two seats. The driver was Zonta. Even at half planted the car was amazing.Though I must admit it wasn't round a full circuit but a huge square of tarmac that went on for miles. It was purely stop n go n stop.

Can your Granny drive one?

Sporty Yar...

Anyone can fiddle about and make a car go fast...we're talking about std car here. Like Graham said " all of 2 bhp you don't need traction control".

Sound like from your passenger ride with Zonta you could teach Mr Mansell a trick or two

BTW think the question you were asked posed by thepits was,

"You've driven a modern F1 car then eh? "

not whether you'd been driven in one, ive been in a number of aeroplanes but wouldn't proport to claiming that I know what there like to fly..............
