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 :D

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 :D

.075

1.65

2.5

3.25

This is true. 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.
