Some info from Malc about the car:
The engine is bog standard Hayabusa GSXR 1300.
About 175hp. It's got the track day suspension, Nitron shocks and AP Racing brakes, Avon ACB10 track-day tyres. Coupled with the wedge shape and big
bi-plane wing it's pretty grippy! hehe Oh, and we have a helmet-to-helmet Terratrip intercom so I can hear the passenger scream on track days ;)
LOL
I've tried a few track days now - Oulton, Cadwell, Aintree, Anglesey, Donnington and it definitely prefers the twisty circuits to the ones with long straights. I've not found anything to touch it on the corners other than Radicals (which are often wearing fat slicks!). Porches, Ferraris, Nobles, TVR's, Lotuses and even '7's are caught and passed very quickly on twisty circuits. But where there are long straights (say Doni or Aintree), then the powerful cars haul us in. I NEED MORE POWER! EEK!
