Nice work Gareth
if my maths are right you are lapping in around 1.02 I guess that you will be aiming to break a minute soon

Very smooth - good on you just getting on with it, no gloves, nothing... just learning how to drive her well!
It does look like good fun!

That footage was taken during my first 35 mins on track. Battery died before I started using kerbs/braking harder. Unfort. battery died during my laps with Tut
Bullet cam worked well though

Good footage Gareth.
Had a couple of laps with you. Your car was definately pulling away on the straights.
Power to weight pretty good now?

190bhp @ 529Kg (car was weighed yesterday)
Need to sort out the cornering

Bloody hell that's light.
You now have 100bhp/ton more than me.
Not sure if I'd be as quick on the corners if I didn't have a steel cage for my comfort zone.
Plastic or air just isn't the same.

Makes my 120 @ 560 (i think) look puny in comparison.
It gets even worse when you add the driver's weight

Mac, your's is a Roadsport A yes? On paper I understand your car has ~138bhp.... but IIRC what I've heard it may be more on a sealed race engine.

Cool - I thought the A spec sealed engines were 120 and got upped for B spec.
Suppose I really need to get it on a RR to find out for sure.
Still nowhere near the 190 G's putting out

Top Class Gareth, can't wait to see a calypso Red Elise with gold wheels being gunned down in your next vids
