Rolling Road, Nottingham

[aruck]

Evening all,

Can anyone help me out and point me in the direction of a good rolling road in or around Nottingham? Any idea how much getting a car tested costs? I've never done it before.

Cheers

Peter Burgess at Alfreton is a top bloke, his rollers go up to 200 bhp. Geoff Bloor isn't so good imo. He didn't look after Minimax when his suspension fell apart! There's also Trackcar (Joolz) at Chesterfield and he's a top bloke to

Boosted.

Erm... that isn't much is it? 200bhp - hardly seems worthwhile. most people who rolling road their cars have tuned them and want to find out what they are putting out - 200bhp limit really does narrow his clinetele down!

Sorry can't help with notts r/roads tho...

200bhp at the wheels is enough capacity for most road cars - think caterhams, minis, mx5s, some of the less bonkers jap turbo coupes, E30 BMWs etc.

He could do one wheel at a time.

Should take care of it.

I have no doubt that there are still many cars out there that will fall under the 200bhp mark but surely a 400 or 500bhp limit would mean that he could cater for most cars out there rather than a select few. As i said, most people on rollers have tuned their motors and are not running stock power (otherwise what would really be the point of r/raoding the vehicle).

Just my 0.02p's worth.

Or maybe its a typo, and its actually 2000 bhp?

I have spoken to Peter Burgess about tuning my Triumph Spitfire. He is an expert on tuning old MG's etc so a 200bhp rolling road is definitly enough for most of his client base. Top bloke as well, really knows his stuff.
