not a prob for me matt you are right in some respects who was driving the car if it was paul or steve they are superb drivers ie scare me so you would
be overtaking most people,
as long as you have fun thats all that counts im sure you will when you get on the track.
good luck with any future build,

As for the MK Indy's the Suzuki GSXR engined one was their works cars, I believe the blackbird and ZX12 were privately owned and their owners
were not thrashing the arse off them! Works car goes BANG... MK pay to fix it. but not the privvy owned ones!.
I wnet in the GSXR, and he thrashed it 10-11k rpm ALL the way round.
It went well even with me in it!!
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
Best Regards

correct geoff me and my brother owned the bird & 12 we gave tham a good run out but didnt cane the arse of them as one had to be driven home and
one trailered its a good 60+ miles drive so needed the car to in a condition to drive,
still they performed well all day reliability is the key cant have any fun if it goes bang???.
i think the fireblade toniq may have gone as late on in the day around 5pm the green car i think cec was still going round not sure 100% though.
cheers

Sorry, haven't been paying attention. I was only teasing...! I'm delighted that you had such a good time. We had a great day, bit on
the telly, some new customers and Brands is always a fabulous track to drive.
Andy Bates is sorting the engine in the white one after it went BANG tinkle tinkle... that's the press car as reviewed by EVO, Pistonheads,
AUTOCAR etc so I think we've demonstrated just how far you can go with a standard fireblade lump. In the last five months it's done 65
days on track, most with passengers, all at ten tenths, so credit to AB Performance is deserved.
It's the good thing about BECs, when the unthinkable happens replacement engine and boxes are cheap, and easy to replace.
The Duratec - (green one) was mighty around Brands, and was chasing that ridiculously fast new Westfield around.
