Hello Mike,

I fully agree there.

I too, have raced Karts in a few forms, including 250cc International SuperKart.

My 250 was faster than all of the Group C and Group A touring cars of the era, back in 1990. Top speed by only calculated 10km/hr, lap time near 2 seconds. Lakeside International Raceway.

My current road car has only 330 rear wheel horsepower, but is much more useable, and faster overall than some of my mates with "500 plus horsepower".

Just enough to break traction in 3rd is ample for me, compared to some cars that smoke the tyres in 3rd.
