So, did you beat Teds 1.18.64 at Sandown today? You've got ~150 BHP more than him......... and he's 70 years old. this is my favourite time sheet of all time too... http://www.natsoft.com.au/cgi-bin/results.cgi?08/09/2002.SAND.Q9 Can you beat Sammy?
I saw that, he must be stoked, 2 secs faster than his previous best isn't it? BTW, how do they do the timing, transponders, or light beam? Back to your question, power difference is closer to 100hp than 150hp and 250 - 300 kilos more weight. Power to weight he has an advantage of about 10%, so being 1 sec faster is nothing to crow about. 10% is worth 2 secs on the straights alone. Anyway three cars self destructed and left bad oil spills on virtually all the important corners after warm up's so no fast times today.
Timing is "Dorian" Transponder in the car near your knees, and lines in the track to sense it. yes, Ted is very happy with himself. Actually, his wet race was really very good too. So you did a 19.6? Thats not bad. Almost race pace for GT series, Certainly very raceable in state rounds, Top 10 time.
