Is that girl holding the tennis balls Maggie T then? She let herself go in later years, didn't she?

However our fuel consumption was probably twice what Mike has achieved, and it was certainly noticeable that around Coram for instance a 924 appeared to be easy to drive flat-out, whereas I (at least) was having to balance the power/grip equation all the way...of course using the same set of tyres all season in Future Classics may have contributed to this |

It's all about finding a compromise, IMO. More power needs more fuel and more brakes. Probably more weight and of course more tyre wear.........
First thing I will be doing when time permits is to put Tango on a local rolling road and see what figures are. Luckily the guy that runs it was bought up in the era of K-Jetronic so knows all the ins and outs! Although like a lot of people I dream of all the different (and mostly quicker) cars that could do the 360 in, when it comes down to it, given reliability, a 924 gives very good VFM and is a hoot to drive. So with a fair wind etc., expect to see Tango on the grid again next year. Maybe we can eek out a few more horses on the RR and knock a couple of seconds off a lap........ |

I've just found the Silver Arrow is 30% down on compression on number 3 cylinder, plus an oily plug. Explains some of our issues in the race, also underlines the basic strength of the Audi engine
