Henry himself told me about this Estoril test that he would have been 5th in F1 grid but you have to remember that he was comparing both car types in wet. I still not believed then and now.But maybe he was.
I once tested T 16 evo with 5th wheel attached on back to record accurate for Autocar mag. From standing start on dry tarmac it took 2,7 seconds to reach 60 miles/hour, which at time were some 0,2 second faster than F1. But I never got perfect start. Either too much wheel spin or not enough. Over 500 horse power was too much for me. When you changed to 6th gear fiber class doors started open little and you could see road under the doors. No protection but the biggest problem was to be able to change gears quick enough. I mean in that type run i had to change in H-pattern from 1st to 3rd under total time of 2,7 seconds!
The car I would like to see in TG so called track would be Rod Millen,s Toyota truck, which he used in Pikes Peaks. Over 800 horses, 4wd, big wings and light. Eat your heart out super cars!
