Looks like some refinement has gone in since the first two recordings? Or has the driver managed to tame the beast? Title: Re: 131 racing. OZ style! Post by: gunobla on November 07, 2009, 08:11:38 PM Seems like there were a million gear changes in there but heaps of horsepower too

It seems to have huge excess of HP , well in excess of th e car's handling ... Do I see and hear right that the car is being accelerated only on a straight .. and in all curves the clutch is depressed and brakes are engaged ... Interesting gearbox, very, very quick shifts but shifting like regular 5 gear helical ( not dig clutch).. Very good piece wo watch and wonder ... Title: Re: 131 racing. OZ style! Post by: Testament on November 13, 2009, 07:07:03 AM in excess of the grip rather than the handling - also the car has only been run a few times in anger in the last couple of years so I doubt the driver has "tamed" it as such.
