I was just told Coops got a 1:16.00 as his best time last night.

At 0.2 seconds a lap behind the Genuine Weslake powered red Ford GT40 ($400,000)doing a 1:15.80, Using a bit of value for lap times produced, I think that makes Coops 1200 car worth $398,947.37 ............


Seriously, that got him 24th outright out of the 55 entrants. I dont think there were any more than 2 smaller capacity cars there (1 micra 1300 1:20 something and a mild 120y???? times).

In a field of horsepower giants with lots of big Hp turbo cars (very fast on the straights), the 1200 did very well. Also in similar times were packs of 1600's with 2.4 grunter engines and stuff so he had plenty of competition.

Well done Coops!
