I imagine you'll have to re-mortagage your house to fill a tank with it, but still, it's interesting to see that 102 RON fuel is available on a forecourt :smiley:
-
It's really motorsport only as alledgedly it's to F1 spec (I sh!t you not!).

Yup, i read that. F1 spec, only in summer though. In winter the atmospherics change it out of the regs. Still useable for other sports though.
I wonder how much it is..?
-
I seem to recall reading somewhere it's £2.50 a litre or something equally bonkers.

e-x-p-e-n-s-i-v-e , wonder how much difference it would make though ?
The golfgti championship wont even let cars race with more than 99RON fuel in them , no even V power

thought v power was 98 ron? most other "super" unleaded pumps are 97 ron.
-
not sure ?? though V was 101-100 ish
they were talking of using tesco 99 as thats the closest you can use

its 99ron you were right!
i dont think theyve changed the stickers on my local forecourt (from the days of optimax @ 98ron)
not sure why they wont let you run it in the golfgti championship, if the limit is no higher than 99ron.

think its a level playing field they are after

We used to use 106 in our race car, and run the engines in on aviation fuel.

Nice!
We used to run our tractor racers (a bit different i know) on go-kart fuel, mmm methanol!! smelt pretty funky and i dont think the little 20 year old 10hp engines liked it very much, especially as they were revved using the governor (i.e. more than twice their designed rpm... for prolonged periods!) :cool:
poor little things.
