Talking to a competitor on Saturday who uses an S1 Roadster (looks well used too) it was dyno'd this year as part of the regs for the power to weight calcs, the figure was 214 BHP and it's almost 20 years old now

DB. I'm assuming so, because it's used with an actual weight to produce the power to weight ratio that is now used in the Speed Mog Championship to classify the cars, I would have thought flywheel figure would be pointless. Opps, scratch the above, it's more complex (it is Flywheel) plus some other 'stuff' see here http://www.speedmog.co.uk/regulations/

I thought 214 bhp at the wheels was a tad optimistic given that transmission drag loss needs to be added back on for flywheel figure. This came out at around 55 -57 bhp on my 3.7 Roadster.
