I think the main thing with these records - is that you have to look at what other classes are racing with FF1600. Back in the day - it was pretty common to have FVL / F3 / BTCC racing on the same bill as the FF1600 (even Juniors) so there was a lot of rubber down. I know its a dirty word - but if you look at when FF Zetecs ran with BTCC the times were frankly amazing. For eg - Snett lap record in Zetecs was a mid 1.08s in 2002... as usual Zetec time was a 1.10 - but on the BTCC rubber - they flew. I remember that Mallory race was a support race for the FVL series in 92...
Completely seperately - has anyone run this new block over here yet?
