Default How Fast Evo test track

http://www.howfast.co.uk/

Pos. 72 Mike Leung on here? Done this myself, pos. 18, will do it again next year to try and better my time, good fun gets the adrenaline pumping.

Rob Huff(world touring car) Mat Jackson(British Touring car) and various motoring journalists have done it

Have a go see how fast you really are.

That looks like a big power circuit to me! Ideal for a CSL, or a blown S2000!

Looks nice though, very flowing.

What's the format then Barry?

£99, briefing then 1 hour on track, 20 cars maximum, after the hour on track, out lap 2 flying then a in lap. Fastest in the hour practice goes first, they let you go at intervals so your laps are clear

Anyone who has been to Bedford knows you can near enough straight line the chicanes and run wide on the corner exits but on this event you have to stay within the white lines, cones are placed at the chicanes and corner exits, if you touch one your lap is void.

The track is a good mixture of fast corners, technical chicanes and hairpins.

When I do it again I'm going to do two sessions (they do four a day) as when you've finished you want another go

It'd be nice if it included tyre type TBH. I am willing to bet all those on the first page are on Slicks or at the very least ACB10s

I'm not quite sure how a Standard 2 litre GTR is in 3rd place though

Yes it should noted as "modified" if he's shaved off 1.5 litres of his engine and 2 turbos

Think I will do this in the new year.

£99 is a little costy for an hour of track time.

The GTR's are pretty handy - one assumes.

Some interesting "you should be ashamed of yourself" performances further down the field!!

ACB10s unlikely given the sizes they're available in, and they won't support anything that weighs over 700kg. Couldn't see any rules on the website as to tyre rules.

Where? Nowhere in the SE!

They are mentally fast. To give an example - round Goodwood from a standing start, I (in an S2000) can do a 102 (1m42s), a friend in a CSL can do a 95, the GTRs do a 90. The only things faster are Radicals and single seaters.
