I'll revise my lap time prediction then and say maybe 54/55.
The front end did look a little "dated"

Hi
In all truthfulness even a 54-55 round Brands will take some building up to. The dive down into paddock hill needs a good setup that wont bite. And
getting traction out of Druids and Grahame hill will require some playing with dampers to get best results from traction. Those are possibly lap
times to build up to through the day rather than say 10am.
Cheers Matt

Yes they are a target to aim for,not an expected result at 10am.
Brands will probably be my 1st trackday / testday in the car so with something to aim at and if I can come away close then I know we're heading
in the right direction.

Yep but if you take a look at Kit results i am pretty sure you'll find that a 54 is a time taken from a race situation with traffic. Where as
Paul is quoting RGB lap records.
Cheers Matt
Lap record is actually 52.5, in a racing situation they are typically just dipping into the 52's i.e half a second slower.
I have no doubt a well built CEC with 180- 200bhp would go faster, I was just being cheeky and pointing out the advantage of low weight in a track car
:-)

P.s. How are your feet recovering? Get well soon (and no practicing heel and toe technique  )

So assuming p2w is equal what's the general rule for BEC vs. CEC in race conditions?
BEC wins on tight courses and CEC wins on the longer more open ones?

Dan - would be good to see you racing in 750mc events if the car fits into the right series. That would make 3 of us from the little Island as I
believe Baz picked up his stock hatch today.

Brands
For best results do as follows:
As you travel down the start line straight clip the marshall's post on the right. Hug the pit lane to the right (it is downhill) until you pass
you are 3/4 of the way down. Move to the left and when you think you are at the end of the straight keep it nailed, because you have another 400
metres to go. Aim for the pit exit line to the left and brake like XXXX. Once you see the apex nail it. Enjoy the feeling of going to the moon, and
use all of the kerb available on the left (you will need it). Travel up the hill at full throttle and dont touch the brakes until you arrive at the
bridge before Druids. Take a 3/4 line to the left and get the power on as fast as your car will let you down to Graham Hill Bend and get over to the
right then take loads of kerb on the way in as early as you can, but dont hook your wheels over it as it will slow you down. As you approach the
chicane at the end of the straight give a momentary lift and the go through flat out (this requires some balls). Once through straighten the car up
and barke hard. Turn right and aim for the right of the new MSV building and use all the left hard side of the track, then aim for the
Marshall's post onto the start finish line. Repeat for 20 minutes whilst defending your race line. If you get it right you will lap in low
54's. Good luck (but what would I know)...

How do you get 170bhp from a 1.8 zetec? Im already thinking that its going to cost a small fortune

So when is someone going to suggest a rule change? My suggestion I keep banging on with is to run with engine intake restrictors, and no rules on
engines and spec, with exception of no knock sensing and no forced intake.(This leaves out the F3 engines, which hand grenade even with knock
sensing)
Classes then based on restrictor size and weight.
Cheers,
Nev.
