Bruntingthorpe 2 mile runway max speed run. - Page 3 - Porsche General - PistonHeads UK

Booked. For continued research and developement purposes. Come on, who else? DAZ

I'm booked down to go. I turned up at the last Brunters run (late) in a friends Skyline GTR and very embarrassingly we didn't even complete one run and had a thoroughly enjoyable 4 hour trip back home on an AA Transporter...... After seeing so many lovely 911s at that event it re-kindled my love for the old German autobahn-muncher, so I bought a 993 RS 3.8 last week. Amazing road-feel, sound and fun...... I might bring this along (I know it won't break), or I might bring along one of my Skyline GTRs, which are much, much faster (but more fragile). Guy

Guy, you may be only dimly aware of how much the Skyline saga meant to the P-car people at Bruntingthorpe. Absolutely instant justification for ALL (and I mean ALL) the money lavished on the cherished 911/944/968/964/993/996/TT/X50/RS whatever. I hope your RS is better behaved!! Cheers, Maurice.

Maurice, I did guess that, hence why we left so quickly. I've always known that Porsche are simply the best built sports cars (had a 964 a while ago), however I do still have a thing for the Skylines. My R34 GTR went to Germany and back last year for the 24 Hr Race at the Nurburgring and we did 200mph on the autobahn with three 6 foot adults and a bootfull of bags, no problem, something no 911 could do. My R32 is also one of the few chances anyone on the planet gets to drive a 1000bhp car on the road (it dynoed 831bhp at the axles recently even with a misfire). That said, it was a fantastic pleasure to get back into a 911 again and hear the wonderful aircooled roar. It was also a pleasure to drive a non-turbo car again, made me remember what instant throttle response is. The brakes on the RS are simply amazing and are what has impressed the passengers most so far. Guy

Daz I'm in, want to try a couple of standing starts this time (is JezzaC going). sorting 6th gear, but wont be done in time Paul

Guy - I like the fact you don't muck about... Buying a 993RS 3.8 at the drop of a hat... top man The problem with running 831bhp with a miss is what damage it is doing to the engine while it is doing it. I had enough fun with Lotus Carlton engines and misfires.

Is there room for 2 more?

UV email Craig via his profile. I'm sure he'll be delighted for you to attend. DAZ

Excellent news Paul. I have been told Jeremy will be attending by a third party, I've also been told a certain previous attendee will be wheeling his Ultima out rather than his BMW breadvan with only 3/4 throttle. I presume you're going with the shorter sixth gear as you and Alex were discussing last time. regards DAZ PS - interesting threads going on in the Cerbera and the Tamora/T350 forums. Some people believe decent sorted TVRs are quicker than Porker Turbos.

Interesting. As far as I know given more or less eqaulity between cars the one with the higher power to weitgh ratio should pull fastest, right ? I know there will be some other factors, eg gearing, but more or less it boils down to force=mass x acceleration, no ? So 450 bhp option on a 911 tt at around 1400 kgs = 321 bhp per tonne versus 400 bhp (claimed on a post for a standard tamora with 'power' option) at about 1000 kgs = 400 per tonne. The tamora should have it (assuming it didn't break down) Any one know for sure the power/weight figures ?

No, AFAIK, it's mainly a question of TORQUE overcoming DRAG. You will probably find that a 996 Turbo has spent half its life in a wind tunnel, whilst a Tamora diecast model (with wool attached) has spent three minutes in front of Peter Wheeler's wife's hair dryer... Check the torque... once mass is moving, the weight becomes less important IIRC. I bet a 996TT would dump on a Tamora in every measurement or increment.

More factors than that, but in my experience the influencing factors vary through speed: 0-30mph - Traction and bhp/ton are biggest factors 30mph - say 100mph bhp/ton is most important 100mph - 160mph+ - bhp and aerodynamic drag 160 mph+ bhp, but aero is now much more important As the car accelerates faster, progressively more of the power if being used to overcome aerodynamic drag rather than accelerate mass, so the weight of the car becomes progresssively less important at higher speeds, though the relationship is a complex multi-variate algorithm. Top Speed has very little relationship with mass...... Back to Tamora vs 996TT, the TT will win at every point in the curve based on data I've seen. Remember peak bhp is just one figure, it's area under the torque curve that matters for acceleration and a TT has tons of torque whereas a Tamora doesn't. Guy >> Edited by GuyR on Friday 4th April 14:58

I believe drag increases wrt speed^2...

993ttS = 450bhp@1540kg = 292bhp/tonne, in theory the Tamora should spank the porker. Based on these figures I'll keep quiet rather than getting egg on face Paul P.S. I'd still have a tenner on Darren!

Read this... All will be reavealed..... www.pumaracing.co.uk/topspeed.htm

And where's the weight in a 911? All on top of the driven wheels, just where you want it for getting off the line..... I rest my case. Melv

Or smoking the back end in the car park at Oulton, was that you Paul

It is intersting if you look back over the recent Bruntingthorpe excursion. The Turbos cars had it on the day by some margin,however if you consider we had a very well driven TVR Cerbara 4.5 litre which I beleive are 380 bhp in standard trim weighing around 1100kg.This car achieved 159mph as a best speed on the day. I was astounded to see a regular 3.6 C2 with 316bhp coming in at 1360kg achieving 158mph.The Carrera was driven by a pleasant chap who from what I understand had little trackday experience. Now this is one of Blackpools more brutal cars in line with a cooking C2!!! it goes to show drag,position of weight,gearing,torque and no doubt many other factors make a contribution to how a car actually performs in the real world. Clearly you cannot go by the stats in the back of car magazines for true comparisons.

Well said that man. Don't believe the magazines and stats, get out and drive them all. DAZ

It is also a proven fact that porsche quoted bhp is that which would be produced by the worst example leaving the factory, with most cars producing over the quoted amount. TVR on the other hand will only match their quoted power outputs with the 'prepared' press car. Most customer cars will be up to 20% down on quoted power. This has been proven time again when Rover V8 and AJP8 engines cars have been dynoed. Of course they still feel quick because they are so light. Guy PS I have owned 2 TVRS and driven every model so am talking from experience.

Did Jeremy lend the keys to someone else then

ha ha, funny Iguana. Rich, yep you're more than welcome to come & spectate. I mentioned on another forum that we could do with a couple of people to come & send people out in order, I'm sure there'd be the odd passenger ride in return for said favour.

Morning, Craig - just the geezer - sorry this is a bit late but I wondered if I could still submit for a spot of nose-chipping runway dribbling on the 27th? Cheers, DeR.

I think we could squeeze you in ! Mail me.

The electronic carrier pidgeon is away!

RIGHT i'm in, do you need any car details to get in the gate like last time, and Daz have you sorted our suction problem yet ooh errr

Anyone got a megaphone or PA system. DeR can do the commentary, Martin Brundle your days are numbered pal. DAZ

Not yet mate. Not a priority since they've banned camcorders at the Ring. But I can get my grubby mits on a new digital mpeg camcorder that's smaller than a deck of cards. DAZ

Good point, Schnellenhoff; must get some of those sucker things and work on the in-car cam angles and such like; where's the best place to position the little bleeders? Btw, what time's kick orf and will there be sufficient time to partake in an oozing vermin burger or three before commencing with grittal splatting? I love the smell of wafting brine in the morning!

Or smoking the back end in the car park at Oulton, was that you Paul White Cup Car? Me? Nah! Melv PS Was there smoke as well as noise then? ;-) >> Edited by melv on Monday 7th April 14:17

Torque vs weight (if traction is good enough) should give accelleration, whereas Drag vs power should give v.max. On a relatively short course the faster car would be the one with the best torque to weight figure and the correct gearing. If that car also had good traction (4wd?) then the contest would be even more one sided...

Daz, any special reason why the camera ban at ring? and what footage do you already have for our perusal of your previous hoonage there.

Just to keep you chaps updated..so far, definites who will be gracing the tarmac are... Jeremy C - Cerbera 4.5 Dazren - 996 TT with X50 pack 944/968 - 993 TurboS Rod(cant remember PH id sorry) - Boxster Tifosi - 996 Turbo Tony - ex996, new car TBA Derestrictor - 993 Turbo with big BHP Malik - Chimaera 500 Melv - 964 Clubsport Boiler - chim 500 and about 4 others who said they were definite definite but I'm waiting on cheques...... Other cars: Ferrari 512 TR Griff 500 911 3.2 supersport 964 RS 993 Targa 2 x Modified Audi RS4's Audi RS6 possibly Cobra Superblower and a few coupes, convertibles who just wanted some fun! Oh and my 348 GTS bringing up the rear..

This looks pretty good Craig, i must say...

This is going to be su"fecking"perb. What the hell is Bluesatins excuse? Come on Guy we want to see the Ultima set the pace. a petition perhaps? DAZ

DAZ! - Stop it! - I'm going to have a big enough dilemma trying to fend off the inevitability of a RUF 996TT after you mete out the arse whipping to end all arse whippings! I don't need bleedin' Ultimae clouding the consternations! Plus, the sight of a Diablo as well will send me right off on one... Aaargh!!! I can smell the already! Cheers

DeR Phone home and get Mrs DeR to set the video ofr BBC2 7.30pm. There is a car program on tonight which involves someone looking at buying a sportscar. Apparently they have the 996tt as a contender. Lets see if the lucky chap wants something to pose in or the finest road weapon money can buy. DAZ PS - Verysideways and Bluesatin you have mail. Ultraviolent why is your name not on the list?

It is with the deepest of regret I have to announce the Ultima family will not be represented at our event. A petition would not change matters as the Ultima factory are having a bloody open day at the same time. It would appear many owners of the marque would rather meet for tea and a natter rather than caning the arse off their cars on airfields. Currently I'm at a loss for words. Of the Ultima owners I've met, I never imagined they'd be so interested in drinking tea and nattering. DAZ

Craig - you have mail.... I'll happily bring la Noble along. Hope to see you all there if there are any spaces left! J

Sometimes tea is enough- next time Daz you will be challenged by someting other than one of jeremyc's cars

Excellent news. A great spread of marques. DAZ

Lots more replies & cheques, thanks guys. All looking good, a great spread of cars now, going to mix things up a bit and have different cars running against each other on each run, ie you will have a chance to settle old scores etc etc, ( ha ha) and also to make it a bit more interesting. The Ratburger van has happily confirmed attendance so we won't go hungry & I'm close to being able to give you a final cost, again, sorry its taken so long but I have had a lot of uncertainty on numbers which has meant the price changing - it should be around the £150 mark though(although I'm still bargaining to get a better rate - I am a broker after all). ps. I've been told that a Jag XJ220 achieved just under 200mph on the straight and said car "may" be making an appearance. va va vooooooom! pps. Just confirmed with the timing equipment guys. We will have electronic boards 100metres from the speedtraps so you will see the speed you've just recorded which should be good. >> Edited by craigw on Tuesday 15th April 12:19

Cheques in the post (well - will be first thing tomorrow). C U all there... J

pps. Just confirmed with the timing equipment guys. We will have electronic boards 100metres from the speedtraps so you will see the speed you've just recorded which should be good. Nice upgrade Craig !! Not heard of that one... Cheers, Maurice

hope you can make it Maurice, let me know as I'll need to allocate you a number.I want to see you do 160 this time!

Hi Craig, I'm assuming spectators are allowed? I'll be briniging our Boxster S as I'd really like to meet some people and blag a passenget seat or two (two of which being DeR's Beetle and the DazMobile). Secondly, can someone tell me where Brunters is? All I know is that its in Leicestershire.

Hi Greg, yep spectators are allowed especially if willing to do a little bit of marshalling ie sending out people in order! I'm surprised you aren't participating yourself?? ps. will need your reg number to get into the ground. pps.will be posting details ie when & where in next couple of weeks.

pps.will be posting details ie when & where in next couple of weeks. I hope so it's only 10 more days to go!

Well, its my wifes car and she wants to get some tuition before popping her trackday cherry. She's been fast in it okay, but its not the right time or place. MORE than happy to marshall or help out, just as long as I get one or two passenger rides. Drop me an e mail if you wish. Sure - picture of car on my profile with number plate. Er, its the weekend after next mate! Chop-chop!

copy of email I just sent to the group: Hi Gang, Well, just over a week to go until we can V Max our respective exotica! Circuit map and location doc attached..anyone who didnt get it PLEASE EMAIL ME we can use the 'hospitality unit' off the perimeter track - upstairs viewing area / tables loos etc. Can run an organised queue from there. Will organise coffee, caterer can come in there as well. All attendees please give your cars a once over this weekend, particularly those tyres - recommend a careful look for nails, cuts, dig out stones, check sidewalls carefully. Also check tyre pressures please. I'd also advise checking all levels, oil, brakes & coolant(for the non aircooled people) PLease remember that this is a private booking and the usual rules apply. You are responsible for your own safety & I accept no responsibility for any damage, injuries or loss. Helemets are optional and all cars must be road legal. We are aiming to kick off around 10.30 and carry on until about 4.30 or until we run out of petrol! My sources tell me the local constabulary will be out in force so please take care getting to and from the airfield, believe me you'll have plenty of opportunity to push yourselves and your cars once we arrive! Any questions???..... ps: B’thorpe location Just to clarify for everybody - Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground is located in the map square defined by M1 J20/J21 A426 A5199 (old A50) A4304 (old A427) There are truck route signs to B'thorpe (Trading Estate) from the last two. Foolproof way to get there is from the A5199 (nice road), take the truck route turn off there, stay on this road (past the pub which looks like favourite for lunch). Proving Ground is on a 90 right before the village itself. Report to the gate. >> Edited by craigw on Thursday 17th April 11:31

Er yeah, can you drop me a mail Craig - I'll need the directions. Alternatively, can someone forward it to me please? >> Edited by GregE240 on Tuesday 22 November 01:08

excellent! my email just went down: www.multimap.co.uk/map/browse.cgi?X=460000&Y=290000&width=500&height=300&client=public&gride=&gridn=&srec=0&coordsys=gb&addr1=&addr2=&addr3=&pc=&advanced=&scale=200000&in.x=6&in.y=14 this is where it is, zoom out if u need to & see directions above.

There is a largish sainsburys in the nearest town Lutterworth, where you can park in their car park, and use the breakfast menu, if anyones interested, as the burgernator van was a bit slow off the mark last time getting ready Rich

are you planning on coming Rich, got your email but mine is only sending out sporadically & I hadnt heard from you before, need to know asap as had closed the book &getting cheques in but may have 1 dropout.

Guys I would LOVE to come to this run, unfortunately have work commitments,I just wanted to ask you all to be sure that the HONOURS GO TO PORKERS, I have a feeling that after the last trip the "sneaky" competition may have something up their sleeve. DAZ I hope you have been practicing your starts & stops again, would love to see you blitz the opposition.

Had to pull out chaps -Cup Car broke a rocker arm at Goodwood last Monday, + down on compression test same cylinder -unlikley to be ready by next Sunday -Doh! Melv

That's a bugger, Melv. Still, can't you come along anyway? I'm quite looking forward to seeing one or two of 'the lads' for a drop of diet Tizer. DeR.

Melv Sorry to hear about the problem. DeR's right, come along anyway From what Craig has said a large percentage of attendees will be coming from the South East. Email him and see if you can sort a lift with someone in something interesting rather than pootling up in something sensible. cheers DAZ

I'm bringing my car this time, anyway, so a tame 150MPH for those of the 'Cup and saucer ride' can hitch a lift if they like

Dear Brunternites; Just a quickie: my man Reginald dropped orf a few choice snaps of the non-digital variety this PM; all wonderful, of course but the crowning glory has to be quite the most delectable side on of Tony's gleaming schwartz Diablo with it's minted Oz originals; it still screams SUPERCAR! like nothing else before or since. Please bring it again, Tony (grovel!)

Der, Good that your'e back...have you been in the garage finding ways to make the TT even quicker, any news or revelations Sir??

DR - any chance of getting them scanned in so we can all have a gander? J

JTLPK - my fully upgraded car will be ready next week. Factory have been great about things post Brunters, and all is happy . Due to going a bit mad though I've had to wait for the 6 speed box (it was all getting tooooo expensive ), but it will have LSD, new 2.5l fully upgraded engine, 3.0l style exhausts and the trackday sump. Now I've just got to tell Nick about the cost Trackday anyone???

Excellent news, Sir J; when you refer to an upgraded 2.5 unit, what exactly does that mean (ito of changes/performance - or is it just the anti-gravity device which was obviously much needed )? Is this cheaper than a full 3.0 litre swap? You know, I think the Noble probably is my second favourite car right now; and for pure B-road blats, I'm sure you have the best thing on ze planet. Utterly superb!

Err - I'm not actually quite sure. The move up to 3.0l was about £10k ( ) so I binned that idea and have gone for the latest and greatest 2.5l engine. According to Tony "customer satisfaction is my middle name" C at the factory (top top bloke!) he's putting in an ECU that "rocks" . They will then fiddle with it and give it back to me. All I know at the moment is that it has two (yes two) lamda's - so that's impressive on it's own - means tuning is much easier :soiamtold: No idea what happens to the power (330+ish I think), but it's a seriously good engine (it was one of their very last 2.5's before they moved to the 3.0's), and gives me more options as the "spare change for toys" tin gets replenished over the coming months. Add that to the LSD (which I've also got a cracking deal on), track day sump and the "new improved" exhaust system (custom made for us 2.5'ers that require the 'finer art' of gas expellation) and I have a little idea that I'll need some sort of "white hole" around to let the others on the track have a chance And once I've had the new gear box fitted (I just couldn't afford it this time around!) then the engine can still be tweaked much higher - oh joy I'm now just an impaitent school kid (if somewhat lighter in the monetary department). How's you quest going? J

Wonderful. 'Er indoors keeps mentioning a Noble in the locale (I've exposed her several times to the creation chez local dealer) with what must be said, some favourable inflexion to the commentary. Do you think they might depreciate significantly over the next few months (what with the 3.0 litre being 'the one to have,' as it were)? I do think the car has quite the finest rear three quarter aspect to it this side of an F355; the fact that it out Elises the namesake of Artiolli's grand daughter and leaves an EVO for dead on the straight too, might just be enough to override the long time desire for 8000 screaming Italian stallions...now there's a dilemma! You've gotta hand it to LN & Co; pretty much a masterpiece in a very short period of time; what on earth will they come up with in a few years?

Joust, cant believe you've made it even quicker, I'm not coming in it again Mind you I expect GregE240 would say same to me.

Rather an "expensive" day for me all in all - but hell, with the engine out it would be rude to not "fettle" the odd thing or two wouldn't it. More than welcome back in it again - just next time don't give me the same number again (not that I'm superstious or anything...) J

There are some around for the £40k mark, now given your current stable surely the household will not be "restricted" by "derestricted" in your choice of car www.pistonheads.com/ads/list.asp?p=1&s=108 even has numero uno car at £35k! Tempted????? J

It's being sold by Riaz, a mate at work... give me a call if you want it and I'll arrange a chinese burn before negotiations start... >> Edited by domster (moderator) on Thursday 15th May 17:29

Why's he selling it so quick? It was up for sale not so long ago - I remember some girl posing next to it.... can't remember who it was though. J

Nah, he was selling it originally. Plenty of calls but no one bit, then the ad disappeared off PH... His original ad had Vikki Butler Henderson draped over it. He is selling it to buy a house. Sadly, he hardly ever brings it into work, so I am yet to blag a ride etc. Cheers Dom

Ah! That explains it..... Your welcome to a blast in mine anytime you see me! J

Oh - domster - your crazy - a pugil stick event!!!!?????

£35k? That's a good sign for those of us with an increasing itch of an inclination Noble-bound, ultimately controlled by a sporran obsessed with infinite self-miniaturisation. I'm sure sub-£30k will be a going-rate (privately) in the not-too distant. It's wierd but I can just somehow imagine piloting one. Oh no...in the immortal words of David 'Late 80s Peroxide Alert' Coverdale, "Here I go again..." (sorry).

Cheers J. Have a real soft spot for them. Now if they'd be so good to put an M5 engine behind the seats...

Hmm - too heavy (would seriously upset the balance) and wouldn't fit! Plus I *like* turbos J

How about turbos on an M5 engine? Maybe that's what I need for the Ultima... LOL, interesting though, thinking about putting a compact V8 into the Noble. Would have suggested an AJP8... or even go for manic four pot 400bhp Hayabusa turbo... but that is ridiculous Forget it. It's a great car as it is. I will worry about what type of Chevy I need in the Ult. Cheers D

Sorry it's taken so long. Pictures up at www.lotus-elise.org.uk/My%20Slide%20Shows/Bruntingthorpe%20VMAX%20Track%20Day/ Diary of the events post Brunters are also at www.lotus-elise.org.uk/noble/diary.htm after my "I'm not happy with this" event - Carig - bloddy expensive track day Right you buggers - when's the next one - I recon a good 10-15mph faster out of that bottom right hander now J [P.S.] Trousers too large boys >> Edited by joust on Sunday 25th May 22:25

Extra 10-15mph...cool....Does that mean you have taken the rear wing off??? I will be very interesting to see how much of an effect drag has over the improved exit speed of the first bend. Sounds awesome Joust,I will check your web out,,It will obviously take a little while to run the car and yourself in to the new set up then it will be even more amazing...have fun!

Sounds little short of sensational!

Like the doors on that 993

Due to Tony C @ the factory being the best bloke on the planet, the engine is already run in! Just means I have to get used to having a LSD on the back! J

Top-tastic vids Justin!!!!!! Big fun....especially Final Dry.wmv LB

nice one Joust! Just got my car back, only needed geometry completely reset and a new set of tyres, all set for the next one now!

Time to get organising again then Craig? BTW, look no further for a marshall for next time - I really enjoyed it, despite the p-ing rain in the morning.

Let's just say mine needed a bit more than that :cough: J

I heard, bloody good lap before it went pop though. My pants still aren't clean

Mine needed new brake rotors and pads up front. Although I put this down to bad component build quality. DAZ :tryingtokeepastraightfacesmilie:

Joust; I've just heard that lap you gave to my fellow nowvan oink and I'm pleased to confirm that following his outrageous profanities 'on-cam,' he has not only been turfed oot of his small hovel but is this very instant being set upon by the mastif after which he will be roundly beaten and then banished to Essex. (Huge for the Noble though; I must concur with the sentiments regarding it's status as "the fookin' daddy.")

Just to let you know the new improved Noble outperformed everything I was near at Bedford today on the Autocar Noble track day. Nothing broke, nothing went bang, and the LSD is the "Daddy" Full report with piccies/videos in the next few days. J

Can you keep me informed if there is another Brunters day please? I have heard that the 'certifiable fruitcake' in his 'mad labrador carrying blue RS4' has now added 2x4lb NOS bottles to his setup

What's the RS4 putting out now then?

I`m ready & waiting for the next Brunters day.Can I have 5 places please Craig! Henry. ps.Porsche Factory Tour was brilliant last week.Spa in GuyR`s 993 RS wasn`t bad either.

Did you check out any Lhd Gt3 in Germany while you were there Henry?

guys. Have had lots of you mentioning you'd like to do it again, pls drop me an email if so, looking like a sunday in late July, same deal as before.

Craig, a new topic for this may not be a bad idea. I'm thinking others might think we were still banging on about THAT day.... Greg PS - YHM.

Slightly off topic, but a friend of mine was sent a video of a (very) tuned escort cosworth doing the following 0-60 2.89 0`100 6.06 1/4 10.66 vmax 194.7 from standstill at Bruntingthorpe on road legal tyres Something to aim for everyone? Sparks

Amazing...with the aerodynamics of an Escort Cosworth with that big wing on the back,I would imagine that car must be pushing out way over 500bhp!!!

A few calcs suggest 600 fwhp is required, if the 300 bhp version can do 160mph..... Large turbo's any one....

I believe (and have verified it with the 'cartest' software I have) that on optimax it pushes out 580bhp & 550 lbft On racing fuel, it is reported to be 620bhp. Bit nippy then Sparks

Meant to post this yesterday , apologies it went on other boards first. Dear all, You may have read about previous max speed runs & fun had on the 2 mile straight. A few of us at work have booked Bruntingthorpe to go again and have some fun. It is looking like we may have limited space available if any of you are interested in coming along. The day is Sunday April 27th and will be from around 11am to around 4.30 pm, will probably involve around 6 maximum speed runs, these will be electronically recorded and also then displayed on electronic boards around 100m after the speed traps. We currently have varying cars going from TVRs, Porsches, Ferrari's to a replica Cobra and a few other interesting cars. The 2 mile straight is very wide and smooth & we will only be running 2 cars on the runway at any one time. If you are interested please drop me an email, it should be good!
