Reported cause
Daz- I know its not you, it was the other 996 that was having problems blitzing the Elise.
Leading evidence: 'other 996' (1 discussions report identifying this cause; no attributable repair resolution). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'other 996' (1 discussions; 1 report identifying it and 0 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Run other way' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.

I parked up there for a while, saw Craig come through @ 155 on his best run - those timing guys are braver (or something) than I !
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Daz- I know its not you, it was the other 996 that was having problems blitzing the Elise.
Anyway if if had have been you I know I wouldnt have had any trouble talking you into our 650bhp conversion that you just know you are gagging to go for...
I know the 996s high speeds have tempted the 993 Turbo S guy to go & chat to 9M for a 530bhp kit...
Was the timing gear calibrated? All speeds seem a little lower than I would have expected?
On that Jezza C vid where he does the standing mile I am sure that the 993turbo 4 and Cerby 4.2 get 160mph+ without a rolling start?
I could be mistaken as I have not watched it for a few years!! I am sure it was 170 or so for the Cerby after a standing mile?
Anyone got the vid to check as mine has gone awol!
Folks, a couple of questions?
How much did the day cost?
Do you allow bikes?
When's the next one?
Edited to say Oops, that's 3 questions!

Nice writeup, thanks!
Couple of points for clarification -
Porsche Club GB not involved in any way, in order to keep the cost down etc. Lot of muttering and gnashing of teeth from Moreton-in Marsh, in fact.
Speed traps were simple beam-breaking at a calibrated distance apart, and accurate. I parked up there for a while, saw Craig come through @ 155 on his best run - those timing guys are braver (or something) than I !
There was a headwind all day at least 5 mph. Interestingly, I did a few laps at the end, temperature was dropping, and I got a definite 5mph higher indicated. Maybe we could run the other way from a standing start out in the boonies ..
Costs were £100 per car, a couple of late entries saw us into profit, which I will distribute to two intended participants who separately had to drop out because of sudden serious illness of parents.
Bikes regularly run at BPG, timed by same crew - don't think it would be a good mix, tho'.
Next one - we'll see, but I promise it would be warmer, although that chilly sun was ideal, really!
Cheers, Maurice
Hi Alex, great write-up. Also Titanic site is super. Yes I was the little Lime Green Roller Scate (Elise). Totally out-guned on the straight but in the after noon I was as you say holding serious horse power off with my 1.8 Pot (125 horses). If it wasn't for the 100 yards+ I was loosing on the main staight I rekon it would have been similar lap times. No worries, great day and some serious fun. Thanks to all! Now were do I get a 400 hp up grade?
Well your all lucky I did not break out the old boxster, Then you would have seen who was boss.
( climbs back into his own little planet with twitches happily).
Alright, well at least give me the Elise for god's sake, I could have taken that.....hmmm?(huff)
