    That blown 540i is pretty impressive as well.

    Thanks, I have a fair amount of track experience and while I am one of the faster drivers, I am not the best. In South Africa there aren't that many people attending track days, so dividing the field into closely matched groups is not feasible.

    Despite the speed discrepancies, I cannot remember two cars ever touching each other in all the years that I have been there.

    The Golfs towards the end of the video were all from a local racing series and that was their practice weekend. Such overtaking as seen there, normally gets you black flagged immediately.

    What are you revving to?
    The limit is at 7,100 rpm and I change at 7,000 rpm. The oil temp gauge is not yet installed so cannot report on that but water temp does not rise above 88 deg C (accurate STACK gauges in car) on a hot day.

    After standing around for a few years as a stripped shell, I have put the car back together.

    As an intro to the car, here is a video from a recent open day at a track in South Africa. I live up on the reef, roughly 1600m above sea level), and naturally aspirated engines suffer somewhat.
