Brilliant! That's even better.

Habib, As far as finding the airfield--good luck. There are only about 1,000 of them:p

I'll look for recent CO2 plumes in satellite images. LOL

So did the Supra run the next day? If so did he get the turbo issue sorted out?

Yes, have a longer race vs the M6 where the M6 seemed to hold its own betetr when the speed increased.

Am I missing something? Why isn't there any chirping in the second and third gears in these races?

Since the airfield have excellent grip:

"There was no problem with the traction at all from a rolling start, not even with the SLR. Some car managed a short "shirp" but no more.

The cause for that was that the pavement on the airfield landing track was prepared with transversal grooves some 1/4" wide and deep, that had been cut every 2" all the way down the track. This is done to get better friction in all weather conditions during hard braking when aircraft are landing."
