Having watched the whole thing, it wasn't really a true 9:14...he could have easily eaked a bit more out of it, especially if no one had held him up.
Ratios seem quite short though, maybe it's a 1.6GTi box? It's whining whatever it is! And not sure if it's just me, but was he short shifting the whole time?
Really gotta do it now, but I'm not gonna actually go for a time, as I would bin it.

The track always looks like a walk in the park when seen from inside a super sports car, but watching this shows just how difficult it really is andthe BX is no slouch, especially with all the sliding about and moving obstacles. Better find myself a cheap PS3 and a copy of Gran Turismo and get learning!

Only one word for you, good sir...Jean Christophe wrote:Hello! I am the french owner of this bx!
The engine is from a bx sport (1,9 8v 126cv) with solex carburator.
i am changing it for a 2,0 turbo from a XM turbo ct.
Only original bx parts on this car but with 2 toyo R888 (185 60 14) on the front and old Michelin "energy" on the rear!
BRAVO
Would rather be driving ONE 16v,than fixng TWO.
