Power is nothing without control. Weight is enemy of performance, handling and braking.

re japi

Morning sir.

I ment like this, for example
1380kg ÷ 450bhp = 3,066

Gives more accurate ration with desimals

re japi

In normal car, ratio is about 4-4,5 kilos per horse. So basically if you lose 4 kg from car, you gain one horse.

Ofcourse its not like this. Cause when you lose weight, car behaves and brakes better.

But basics are the same, and gives more accurate numbers. Calculating like this, you can see those little desimals more easily

3:1 ratio is quite good, but 1:1 is optimal

520÷200=2.8bhp per kg

re japi

Umm, its 2,8kgs per bhp... One horse needs to get 2,8kgs moving...  ;D

But yes, when you get to 2,8:1 ratio area, its good.  :D

Been called worse  ;)

Just went on the Track Attack Race Club and seen that over 30 cars have registered to race for Donington, should be fun  ;D.

Also spotted this picture, I was deliberate running close to the wall to get a better exit, but I didn't realise I was getting quite this close!
