I'd been in for a club event and sure I could rustle up a few more Scottish RS for the day!

Kind of interested in VMAX but reluctant to commit just yet.

Hi guys,

Havent been here for a while since the RS4 and RS6 went to play elsewhere so a big hello again!

I know lots of you have been before and it would be great to see you all again anytime and I'm working on Quattro as we speak.

Any queries at all please just ask.

We did have an issue with timing boards and the list being taken at one event which we have worked hard to resolve and will be putting details of your day on our website but also live updated on a free app for those of you with iphones.

Also some other fun twists to come so be great to have you onboard.

Best regards all,

Craig

Craig, it would be good to have the Deutschmax results too, been waiting on them for some time.

[craigvmax]

we had a similar issue there, the problem being that unlike a regular Vmax where we have a massive myriad of cars and colours, the majority of cars were very similar and similar in colour which made it extremely difficult for the timing guys, even with the numbering system which hasnt let us down before they were really struggling and I've spent a lot of time on how to rectify this. I'm doing so by having much larger vinyl numbers made for next year to make it easier. Also since the early Vmax's where we were seeing lots of 150-170 speeds, now with many of the cars going over 180 its much much harder, hence I've been working on a solution, albeit a low tech one.

I did ask everyone (passengers) that day to watch the timing boards as these display your speed accurately, then to report them back.

I actually went to the beams for some time to help and it was incredibly hard to differentiate.

so with the large vinyl numbers and the app displaying the leaderboard these issues shouldnt happen again but I do apologise for this.

We always pride ourselves on giving everyone a great and safe day with virtually unlimited runs but we're still learning and looking for ways to make Vmax better.

There will be some differences and enhancements next year and I hope to make it very special for you all.

I here you reasons (or excuses) for the lack of results, but if you charge a premium shouldn't all these problems be ironed out before taking peoples hard earned money?

How can not supplying results on a Vmax day be acceptable???

It would seem you make good money on these events so therefore should have all the latest equipment to give your customers the ultimate day

Apologies for being blunt/direct, but have you been to VMAX? This timing scenario has happened once or twice in close to 30 events which let's be honest is hardly a big issue.

What's making me chuckle is although a great idea to self host such an event, the basis for such an event has within 3 pages turned into exactly what VMAX is & has been for years already offering. If you have 100+ vehicles running to keep the costs down to say £120-150 each then that's too many cars. Also many attending will not have experienced such an event so the chances of carnage are extremely high as stopping a road car from 180mph within a fairly short distance requires a reasonably high quality of components & driver awareness.

The original idea was Audi only, but you've realised that's a tad boring so want to open it up to other marques which again is the current VMAX format. VMAX is not only about the runs, but also about the banter & friendship. At the last event i attended, my then 16yr old lad got a PAX run in a Noble M600 & experienced the runway at 204mph, something sadly i've still not managed.

I accept that VMAX is probably not for everyone, but having attended many over the years you'd struggle to find a better & more exciting way for a petrol head to spend a couple of hundred quid. Where else in the UK would you get to find & reach the upper speed limits of your own vehicle? Also consider that not only do you get the close to 2 mile straight, you get the launchpad (love that bit) where you can launch you car under safe conditions which is hardly advisable out of the M6 Toll Booths. This in itself & the viewing of is quite something.

Horses for courses though as you can't please all of the people all of the time. I've had 2 years away from VMAX as a 3.0TDi A8 Exec isn't really the correct vehicle for such an event, however i'll be taking my new M5 for a blat when the next event is announced:)

You must have been 'ing it letting your son go in someone elses car at 200mph.
