2. topspeed > 215 kmh
3. lateral and longitudinal g-force > 1,2g and 1.0g
4. predictable handling

NS8

3. lateral and longitudinal g-force > 1.25g and 1.1g
4. predictable handling

The selfexercised budgetrestraint limited the choice of cars considerably. The need for an affordable car which could have it's enginepower and cornerpower raised at low budget led to the choice of the nimble but pleasant looking Mazda MX5 NA 1.8.

3. BUDGET
The reason to go public with this project is the need for support from motorsport-enthousiasts, who can apreciate the difficulty of this target which can be regarded as a real challenge where the outcome is uncertain. Support with knowledge, hardware and financially can be usefull.
