Cheers. With fuel, water and no driver this car weighs in at 300kgs, the engine when healthy it was producing around 205hp at the crank. It’s a bit less than that due to wear on the engine. I’ve got a winter rebuild planned for the engine to push it back to the 200+ mark. It does like to change direction quite quickly, its setup for more tight twisty hillclimbs than sprints but works well at the smaller sprint venues like Curborough.
@@reallybigkidd you need better brakes , it barely peaked over 1G but you held 2.8G coming out the corner onto the straight, you wanna be seeing +3G when you brake hard .
@@TheCraigy83 we run a circuit brake pad which is quite hard it doesn’t heat up too quickly, once they are warm it’s like hitting a brick wall, it’s also only got small 2 pot calipers on it all round so not quite the stopping power. I’ve got softer brake pads on another car and forever locking wheels. Usually I am later and harder on the brakes on the earlier runs I was 10mph higher according to the speed trap in the braking zone so was leaving it a good bit later and carrying more speed so I left a chunk of time there all good news for our next visit as I can work on those areas.
how much does it weigh + hp ?
Looks super nimble + sounds good . 👍🏻
