PERFORMANCE DAY!
« on: 26 February 2008, 18:12 »
Would anyone be interested in doing a performance day with their MKV car.

I'm thinking of getting the figures you have always wanted to know:-

standing qtr
standing 1/2 mile
standing mile
max speed

0-30,40,50,60,70,80,90,100

In gear accelleration times

Braking distances.

Doing something like this at Bruntingthorpe or equivalent.

It would mean organising the airfield for the day and performance equipment, but I'm sure we could arrange the rest ouselves (I don't mind doing some of the organising) :nerd:

Initially I'll be keeping it to MKV's, but if there are spaces left I'll throw it open to th rest of the forum.

What do people think?

I'd be up for that.

Give me the opportunity to see who's mods are really improving performance before I start spending my own cash on them.

This is the place I was thinking about.

http://www.bruntingthorpe.com/about.htm

It is the same place where the GTI International is held and where Topgear sometimes do shootouts.

I've enquired how much it would be to hire the main circuit for the day and so we'll have to take it from there. If there are any othe venues people can think of, then let me know.  :smiley:

I'd be up for that so you can count me in. I'm sure one of the magazines would be very interested.
