As you may or may not know, the timing only starts when you move after the light has turned green, hence I'm in no rush to set off until I am ready regardless of the green light!

I thought it was just timed as the green drops. Thats nice bit of info there! Only fair really, does it drop to green when you and the other car are on the right line or just when you and youre lane are set to go? |

Its a case of edging forward untill 2 amber lights come on. This means you are exactly at the start, not behind the line not infront.

Yes it was with gas, although I have done a run 6 thousands slower without gas. Although it looks quite "lively" on the video it doesn't feel like it moves about much to me, although maybe I am used to it??

Tom. With all that torque you've got, wouldn't it be benificial to change up gears a bit earlier? It sounds as there are 10 meters on every gear before you change up that it doesn't rev. Ie means not accelerating. On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:
Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem. |
