I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

Put it round a track and a Caterham R300/500 would destroy it.

3.7kg per kw

1000 / 3.7 = 270

270kw per metric tonne

= 367.2 bhp/tonne

= loads

Seemed like a really odd statistic to use. Seeing he's actually given weight to power, not power to weight.

Not great power tbh.

Our 2L Duratec on TB's in the Birkin is giving 330bhp per tonne.

As said originally, a Caterham R500 would destroy it on the track.

And looks 50 million times better IMO.

Waste of time.
