just to add regarding milners car
the maxtrak gearbox is from an evo, with funky adapter plate to bolt onto the 3sgte bottom end
everything past the adapter plate is evo, diffs front and transfer, plus rear diff. all trick. rear subframe is tubular bespoke and driveshafts also modified to suit. the flappy paddle shift is new, he didnt have that at woodbridge! at that round of the TSS it was a straight rod from the shifter through the chassis to the mechanism on the gearbox itself.
look how skinny adrians tyres are, he was running on 200mm wide slicks, which is all the michelin man had spare at zero notice! also, adrian was running flatshift and pressed the clutch pedal slightly accidentally whilst at WOT, this caused the engine to self limit (on/off switch on the pedal to allow flatshift), resulting in no power and required a downshift to get back on the power.
lots of should have, and would have, but in the end they both gave a sterling effort and did pretty well
i just happened to drop into fensport today on other business and we got chatting, at great lengths
theres no trade secrets being spilled here, everything could be seen.
one tasty bit tho, is people are calling into question the power of 700bhp (without nitrous) at 5700rpm, saying its a typo and the journalist meant 7500rpm instead. nope, jonnys car doesnt rev, it really does make that much power at a low rev count. adrian doesnt know why, but he suspects its due to the engine build, possibly because it began life as a WRC engine.
