Very interesting to see the speed difference between Pete's 4 and your car on the straights too.
I wonder how much drag my wings make? 10mph? I was going to take um off to see at one point. But did'nt get around to it...

Putting drag/ top speed to one side, aren't you cornering faster? Surely you must be.

Ah good point, I forgot about your wings. Would be interesting to see a like for like comparison.

My cornering speed is limited by my sphincter! Not the car. I doubt the wings have little effect at the cornering speeds we do. They look nice tho ;D

Sorry, Nick. My comment was aimed at Atom 4 owners with wings, not yours..

That chap in the red Alfa was an utter tool. He passed me a couple of time on the wrong side. Luckily i give everyone a wide birth, and use my mirrors extensively or it could have been a crash each time.... :doh:

Strange he wasn't black flagged. It's as if he thought it was an RMA day with passing allowed on both sides or he was just an absolute tool and didn't care :o Luckily I didn't see too many idiots when I was out on track but then I did spend most of the day plugged into a charger ;D
