Wish me Luck...Pistonheads V-max 10!!

[Ruddmeister]

LOL some of them remember Bills v-max fun. Lets not forget though i am a small fish in a big pond at v-max, i will be in the lower end of the v-mqax table. You just cant argue with xt50 tuned 911 turbo's etc there just to fast.

LOL hope it goes well for you and if you manage anything like Bill did it will make them wonder why there is a Ibiza that cost £60k+ less anywhere near them up to 150+

Be very interesting against the TVR and CSL

 

[Madmile]

Fingers crossed everything goes to plan.

 

[Casper]

Take them down Gary, you can do it. And i think with your spec the 160 barrier will fall for sure.
Good luck man.

 

[ibizacupra]

unless there is a nasty headwind, which there was on my day... slowed down the top porka's down to a mere 180mph (I think) where they had done 198mph the previous Vmax..

EAK!

 

[Madmile]

160mph is the best so far in an Ibiza so its that speed i would like to be close to or above (above really) weather is the big worry. I'll give it my best shot.

 

[Scotty_b]

How about takeing a cool box with some ice and a water spary (the little squirty bottles) may help bring things down abit? Especilly if the weather is going to be cold also

 

[fickel]

Good luck and

lets hope that mad wagon beeza is running sweet........

Just think of the respectfull nods you'll get when they see your little motor ripping on past the 160 mark.

Enjoy!

Bruntingthorpe's quite local to me. Wouldn't mind having a butcher's, but apparently no spectators

Sounds like a good day out, enjoy

 

[Madmile]

Nope no spectators are allowed. But i will give a good insight of the day when i get back. Its nothing new Bill has been there before. I am just following in his footsteps, just quicker i hope.

 

[Scotty_b]

I take it you can take pics and film??

 

[Madmile]

I hope so.

 

[Fl@pper]

is it all about top speed ? or accelleration and stuff ?

 

[vern]

Goodluck Gary, hope the beezer holds up, if not earley upgrade time pe1820

just hope for no wind or rain

Predominately sunny weather, daytime temp 7 Oc, nightime -3 Oc. 6mph westerly wind. Weather looks ok. Just hope the old girl holds together.

cool cheers for the links

looks like current max holder is 192mph then - over 2 miles ye ?

 

[Madmile]

I think its 1.5 miles and .5 stopping. I think there hoping for 200mph terminals on Sunday in some of the very high spec cars.

No - surely RUF Porsche 196 mph?????Great piccy BTW

 

[Madmile]

Go into F&Q's and it says the fastest was a 200mph Ruf porsche i think.

You only said that so we'd read this.........

all the way to a very suprising 165mph Seat Ibiza!!

BTW if you're going to VMAX 10, what happened to the results of VMAX IX
