john_stevenson2 Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 Power is not the main consideration I would have thought.When I had lower gearing and a lag free engine I took the hairpin in 3rd and there was still enough grunt to drift, spin, totally overcook it and ping off into the infield. Even with more power I reckon the fact I have raised my gearing and the point at which the motor starts to make decent power might mean I'll have to take it in 2nd next time. S' Quite Easy 200bhp = 2nd 300bhp = 2nd 400bhp = 2nd 500bhp = 2nd 600bhp = 2nd Simples
colin_ross Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 When have you ever had 200bhp? Anyway, when my car was standard I found 2nd too short for the hairpin. I was out of revs before the car had straightened up and in 3rd there was enought grunt to spin the wheels at will. Hence my trip to the infield.

Aye, but you now have a proper gearbox, not one with the following gears .075 1.65 2.5 3.25 4

I used to be in top gear before I got to the bridge. Mind you, 2.5 was just about the perfect length for the hairpin given the spec at the time.
