Shame there's no photo of Billy's car, but made up for it by getting both him and me in the shot of my car!
I didn't get a chance to take any photos so am limited to other people's albums.  I'm sure one will pop up when other people download their shots.

not being funny, but those figures seem very generous?

I think the first 4 or 5 are spot on...after that they seem to be a wee bit generous (10bhp).  At the end of the day, the rollers are steel so as they get hot and more and more polished wheel slip will end up doing that.

I dunno Simon, I was watching the guy set the cars and he was definitely trying to pitch each one in a different place, alternating as much as he could.

Those figures look way out to be at the wheels. In some cases almost +30bhp at the wheels over what they are measured from factory.  :huh:

In my case the bhp figure quoted is the ESTIMATED flywheel figure.

My actual at the wheels figure was 130.30 bhp.
What Simon was asked about was the lbs/ft figure and again they were at the wheels figures.
The machine was giving live readings at the wheels. So the flywheel bhp was on the count back method of the drag of the rollers on throttle off slow down.

Looked like a great day...work called though  :angry:

I was up there last week with the Mk1 and got 180bhp and 150ft/lbs after they sorted the fueling...and with a blowing 'zorst...will have to go up to them again soon.
