@ Amanda: Must be nice to drive on a road with no speed limit, probable saves time when you're running late for work, I live in Georgia, in the southeastern U.S. The fastest I can normally legally go is 65 MPH. Sometimes I'll do 80 when I'm running late for work.

I like the concept of this site but there are a lot of glitches in it. Too many inaccuracies. How can the mkiv have a 16.2 qtr mi and beat a mi 5 on the ring but nothing else????

There\'s a mistake in the calculation of points:
MK5 wins 3 to 1 in track times over Mk4
So how come Mk5 has 28pts and Mk4 60pts??
