so a highly tuned transporter with upgraded suspension and tyres went round the ring 10 seconds faster than a stock transit?

Dale Lomas, who managed a full lap (about a mile longer than our bridge-to-gantry lap)

I think the article tried to say that it was 10 seconds quicker around a lap that works out a mile longer.

So actually, quite a lot faster.

35 seconds quicker bridge to gantry, which is what Sabine was measured over.

Yes, I think that's reasonable for Revo to shout about.

1/10 for comprehension, go to the back of the class.

think quite a lot of sabines lap time was that she knows the track well, and is f**kin mental(mate of mine went to a party while in Germany and she was there, people were drag racing and she was climbing on top of the cars while they were about to race then half way down the race standing up and surfing as they race :shocked: :shocked:)
