Testing went really well yesterday. The car was the limiting factor but factor but we knew that would be the case. A few tweaks to the bike and car during the day and we are in a good place. :-)

I know how you feel, when I'm riding around London the cars are always the limiting factor to me.

Yeah we got Neil upto 135mph. The runway is really too short to push it much further. With a more powerful car we might be able to accelerate harder over the 1st km but it gets few scetch in the braking zone. The timing traps are right on the end of the good surface. As Neil exits the last gate he’s onto a very rough surface under heavy breaking.

Here is a video of the record run:

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
