The noise of engines kicking out THOUSANDS (5 I think?) of Horsepower and trying to launch it down a track is outstanding, and whilst there is a lot of waiting around, the buzz of of watching them hit the strip is unbelieveable
The last estimate I heard (Simply because there isn't a Dyno that can take the power) was 6500hp.
Looks like it'll be the Skoda again this year... After the two attempts to take the Zody down..
2004: Got as far as Purley (left from Woolwich) before I lost all power and had to replace the plugs/points/plug leads, disconnect one pair of points and buy a new battery... Then got to the service station at the start of the M23, filled up and realised that the petrol tank was split where the top and bottome were joined half way up. Picked up a mate at Gatwick and missed the ferry at Poole by 9 Hours. Got to Le mans after that, but split a brake hose on the way back..
2005: Didn't even get 10 miles before losing brakes again. Went down 4 up in a 1985 Camaro...
