Interesting comment form Alex regarding quicker 0-60 times in Guernsey because of the heat. His fastest last year (2022) was 1.73, 0-64ft which is just nuts.I can't find any other start times online to compare. For those who have been to Guernsey know that the start line is on a very small incline too so not like Harewood or Gurston where you start going downhill. Can't wait for the BHC Circus to come to Guernsey in July. :)

Alex has been a star for a bit, saw Matt at Shelsley last year and he was sensationally fast!.

We expect both will be right up there when the championship starts this weekend.

Take away all the electronics of launch and traction control then it would be fair. Wonder how many teams have thought of fly by wire directed by the computers managing everything in the pits. We’re heading in the wrong direction, the ability of a car is only as good as it’s driver, not fancy electronics
