Good Day At Brands Hatch

[Guest G.Man]

LOL

 

Just how did this turn into a p$$$ing contest anyway?

 

As far as I know, Marc didn't laptime himself OR any other cars on saturday... he even says so on another forum, and had no idea what his laptimes were...

 

Marc probably hasnt seen this thread, and even if he had, probably wouldnt respond to it (he is more modest than some)...

 

Who is Duncan anyway, does he race? I assume he does if he can do 48's around Brands Indy... The fastest RGB championship laptime I have seen is circa 51 seconds... Mind you thats N/A Hayabusa... Which I guess is your point...

duncan cowper try a google search

 

he did the CCC sprint championship and won all 14 rounds ...

 

also has done a 45s dead round angelsey anyone who knows anything about sprinting will know him....

i wondered the same thing,

 

duncan cowper is a former employee and ambassador of dax. he owns a 4 wheel drive hyabusa turbo engined Rush which i think used to hold the 1-100-0 record before the tima at some point. pi$$ing contests are a bit daft, but you really have to be trying to compare like to like even if they hypothetical ones, and this isnt really.

 

first theres the four wheel drive thing, then theres the fact that a busa turbo engine conversion comes in at around £5000 (and thats for a modest 340BHP job, rather than the 380 that duncan has) so it seems theres a large money gap, as i recall the MNR is about 9K factory built and on the road isnt it?

 

duncans car looks awsome, but in a different bracket to a standard race MNR i'd think.

I was in the car for the final session of the day when Marc was overtaking the other "faster" cars round the outside at clearways, druids, inside at graham hill and any route he chose at surtees...

 

The car was awesome and he is an awesome driver (and I have a full motor race licence so I know what is good and bad)...

Most of them did him back down the straight (the hayabusa engined cars, v8's and other all power no handling machines) the only car that passed mark that we never passed back was some mid engined silver thing... have no idea what it was...

 

think that was the little R1 powered global and he saw that off too at one point he was telling me...

 

graham hathaway's car that is i think you will find like a baby radical

Cool

 

Cant find much info straight off (and am not that bothered) as I have no reason whatsoever to doubt you are telling the truth...

 

If he made 6th in TOTB and class winner in RWD handling, then it must be a pretty quick car... (and Driver)

 

Looks like I am gonna need to do a good job with my 350bhp Cossie Powered MNR to make TOTB...

 

A Busa turbo is amazingly expensive... Place near me does the conversions, and its very very expensive horsepower, you are paying purely for the (power to)weight saving really..

 

The £14,000 Hayabusa 1900cc is even more cash... then you can add another £3000 for a supercharger... The hayabusa is about the first engine I have seen that exceeds the Cosworth in how much money you can throw at it for performance...

 

However, having seen how fragile a 500bhp cossie can be, big power Busa's must be rediculously fragile...

Thank you & good night,

YAY

 

the thread is now complete....

 

It has its token "close this thread" request

 

 

Its just banter... nobody here is gonna nut each other...

 

90% of all communication is not in the words its in the body language and tonality which you lose on a forum...

 

If your not interested in the banter don't read it... we arent about to kill each other over this...

 

:boohoo:

[Guest docter fox]

I might take my clio to Barkston next time just to see what the difference is

[Guest Busa Rush]

[Guest paul mercer]

I guess you're all lucky that i wasn't there, as i'd have sorted the wheat from the chaff!!!!

 

The best driver, the best car, the most power, the stiffest chassis, the most aerodynamic etc etc etc.:-)

[Guest salty_monk]

:lol:

 

Shame, was looking forward to seeing your machine in action!

 

Still not decided if Bike power or just more car power is the way forward for the next one...

[Guest Busa Rush]

there is a hood having a ZX10 put into i have just been told tonight...

[Guest salty_monk]

and why not..... The torque figure & BHP figure's no less than the 1.6 Pinto

[Guest docter fox]

1.6 pinto or ZX10, i know which I'd rather have, be interesting to see how it performs

 

just out of curiousity, what sort of mpg do you bike engined people get?
