Dynojet celebrate historical lap record success at Cadwell Park
History was made at Cadwell Park on Sunday as Formula Jedi racer Nigel Reuben set the fastest ever race lap around the 2.1-mile Lincolnshire circuit, using a GSXR1000 engine with Power Commander mapped by Chip Tuning Ltd, Dynojet Power Commander Tuning Centre, using Dynojet Tuning Link.
Reigning Jedi champion Reuben flew - literally - around Cadwell in the fifth round of the series, setting a best lap of 1 minute 22.225 seconds, an average speed of 95.139mph. The previous record had been held by Shaun Balfe, who set the benchmark at 1m 22.5s in 2005 at the wheel of a Radical SR8 sports racer. Reuben, who went on to take his third win of the season, was ecstatic to achieve such a feat in his motorcycle-engined single-seater.
"I got the lead from the start and I only had one lap to go for it because we catch the backmarkers so quickly round Cadwell so the pressure was certainly on," said Reuben. "I went flat around Coppice and Charlies and it just stuck. It was a beautiful lap and being in the history books of a track like Cadwell Park is something very special."
The lap marked a significant step forward in performance for the 1000cc Jedi racers as the previous Cadwell record for the series was 1m 24.11s, nearly two seconds slower.
Frank Wrathall, MD of Dynojet UK commented: 'It's great to be associated with a history making record such as this. Thanks to Chip Tuning Ltd of Bromsgrove, using their model 224xlc Dynojet Dyno and Tuning Link software'.
