well instead of spending the day at work. I did a sprint session at QLD race way. I was out muscled on the straight's but really showed how well a beetle could corner. Pics to follow

the car was 1 sec faster than a club spec BMW 2.3 L six. the BMW was 15km/hr faster on the straight, but i was much faster through the corners. as Qld race way is a power curcuit, I was really let down with such little power 🙁

I've had my bike on Qld raceway a couple of times and it definitely is a horsepower track.
Just curious what speed where you pulling thru turns one and two?

140 through turn one in a beetle is pretty good.
I was only pulling about 140 through turn one on my bike mind you I was breaking from about 210 - 220 :thumb
