Hey everyone

Just wanting to see what sort of times people have been doing at santa pod in theire novas.
Am planning to go up on sunday and see what times i get in my 1.6 Turbo

Anyone got any ideas what times i should be aiming for or maybe what a standard gsi would do?

Cheers

Standard GSi should be mid 16s, if your running 120brake for arguments sake you should be aiming for mid 15s, if your running close to an XE 150bhp then aim for low to mid 14s.
