Was there a speed limit placed on Conrod?
It is just that some cars dont seem to go as fast as they sound they could.

No speed limit at all, just common sense. Conrod is a bit deceptive, unless you have massive horsepower you get to a speed, say 200kph and then you reach the uphill bit about halfway down, speed doesn't increase much, if any, in that section. There is also those 2 'humps' in the major straits. Cobras are not very aerodynamic and it takes a lot of 'kahunas' to keep your foot planted when the front wheels get very light and the car wanders about the track..... I only reached about 210 by my speedo. Still was quite a blast. |

That makes perfect sense.
It sounded like you could have gone faster, but at the end of the day you want the wheels to stay on the ground.
