Back from the speed trials, first time I've seen an F40 or F50, both are very nice cars. Also 4 TVRs, a DB7 GT, a Lambo, etc. Lots of classics as well, providing that essential burnt castor oil smell. One had a 27 litre aero engine. I think dunlop might like to reclaim their rubber from Madeira Drive. The pits is definitely the best place to be, you get the most of the sounds and smells there.

Fastest time and speed was a bike from Big CC Racing, which did the 1/4 mile in 8.87 seconds, with a terminal speed of 178 mph.

danhay - we saw your car and oggled it, but we didn't see you or your run, I think we were too late.
