Ian, there is some pro video footage of the day, but it is still being processed. I think my car was fifth quickest that day out of 50 odd cars, there was a 900 odd BHP Porsche which hit the beams at 215, an R8 twin turbo (860 BHP) V10 which hit the beams at 204, another MRC C6 RS6 which beat me by 1 MPH to 198. The RS 6 slaughtered a 650 BHP supercharged V8 M3 twice, a 997 Turbo S (we were even up to 60 and then I was gone), and was even quite a lot quicker than a Ferrari 458 (181 MPH) and 599 GTO (192 MPH).

Yes, I used a full tank in 77 miles (DIS showed 25 miles left), then had to go massively out of my way to find some Shell V Power Nitro, then did half a tank of that, too.
