| | Driving Tempra @ Monza Formula 1 track Yesterday I went, with a friend of mine, to Monza for trying my Tempra on the wonderful, fast Formula 1 track ![]() I had built an onboard camera system so I made some videos that I put on YouTube: if you want to have a look at them: http://youtube.com/watch?v=CIwYCLPEsI8http://youtube.com/watch?v=RODBq52Q_Hkhttp://youtube.com/watch?v=929PE77mZYUhttp://youtube.com/watch?v=NxWfCvWnRgw The third video features the fastest lap, 3' 11.6" (it's the first of the two laps in that video). The sound isn't good because the microphone picked up a lot of wind noise coming from a place at the rear that I wasn't able to locate ![]() Feel free to give your comments

| | Re: Driving Tempra @ Monza Formula 1 track wow that must of been good. what sort of speed were you getting upto? the tempra has got a really low drag coefficient something like 0.27 isn't it? is it a standard 1.6 tempra? is it sohc or dohc? i took my 1.4 tipo round castle coombe which really wasn't suited the the higher speeds of that circuit. good fun though

| | Re: Driving Tempra @ Monza Formula 1 track Well I got up to 153 km/h (95 miles/hour) on the longest straight, which of course is much lower than the top speed of the car ![]() This was the first time I ran on a track so I was careful not to push too much the car ![]() The engine is a stock 1.6 SOHC, delivering 86 HP maximum power @ 5600 rpm. I ran on 100 octane fuel but I noticed the engine, in particular when exiting from bends like left-right, would "cough" at revving speeds between 4000-5000 rpm (in 2nd or 3rd gear) as if it didn't receive sufficient fuel: could it be a dirty fuel filter? I mostly use the car on LPG and it works fine this way.
