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
