We normally aim to start at approx 10.00am, with breakfast in the cafe from around 8.00am. Lunch at 1.00pm. Finish at 5.00pm.

VERY VERY interested although car not ready for track action just yet and not sure I will get it done in time :(

See what I can do ;)

Try man try !!

It really is worth every penny and you get to do pretty much what you like :agree:Power testing or track .We can do the top or bottom track bits so there are some twisty bits .Just keep a look out on the left when doing the track stuff as there are always a few doing top end runs down the 2 mile runway :smokin:

NT = Not Tested
Conditions were damp.
Power = corrected BHP at the flywheel.

The surface was much wetter in the afternoon when the power runs took place and we are not sure how this affects the figures. However as a guide the Clio V6 recorded exactly factory output. Only four vehicles were power tested due to weather conditions.

Weights quoted for 106 and 5GT are factory figures. Vehicles as tested were lighter.
