New world record for 4wd Impreza
Finally brought the 4WD impreza record back to the UK yesterday. Has been in Auz with the Rigollis for many years. Just pipped it with an 8.32 at 173mph backed up with 8.33 at 177mph. 60' on the 8.33 was 1.46 so more to come there for sure.
Lisa has loaded up some videos, it was a different camera she had so there's a bit of, erm, scenery involved lol.
We done 5 runs
Warm up run on 1.5 bar boost 1.52 60' 8.54@169mph
Run 2 with burnout 1.9 bar 1.38 60' 8.35@173mph
Run 3 1.9 bar getting colder, 1.44 60' 8.32@173mph
Run 4 2.1 bar colder again, 1.46 60' 8.46@177mph
Run 5 1.9 bar (5 mins after run 4) 1.45 60' 8.33@172mph
You can see from the burnouts we were struggling as the day went on to get heat in the tyres, barely any steam, never mind burning rubber!!
Last 3 runs

Yes its the same engine as I run but in a tube frame chassis, RWD, Lenco drag gearbox, 9" ford Axle, fully tubbed and on slicks. Not road legal but a race car.
Thats the next target!

Does anyone know what a WRC car and F1 car would cover a 1/4 in?
