Well….our test chariot, “Toby” has a black box recorder in it that records pretty much everything.

Here is what the data shows on our efforts so far:

  1. We’ve completed 256 laps (approx. half of the real race) which equates to 911.36 miles.
  2. Our BRAND NEW motor has run 18 hours….or just about 1/3rd of its life span (60hrs).
  3. Our BRAND NEW transmission has run just over 1/2 of its life span (30hrs).
  4. We used 5 sets of tires (4 new and 1 ’scrub’).
  5. We averaged 3.4 liters of 100 octane, unleaded fuel per lap (.898 gallons)…or 3.96 mpg….eeek
  6. Our fastest speed was 171 mph
  7. Our biggest G turn was 1.71Gs
  8. Our biggest G stop was 1.38Gs
  9. Our biggest G vertical (banked turns) was .88G

    OK. I’ve wasted enough time with this. I have been showing anyone who will watch over my shoulder.

    What car is it that passes Dan on the banking? From the sliver that shows against the far right, it looks like an orange Lotus Exige. Could it be…?
