Ok, so I was at a track day at Cadwell Park Circuit on Saturday last and having a hell of a time putting my foot down in the beast. After walking around my fellow track day enthusiasts and drooling over their cars as you do, I saw a number of people pouring fuel from large jerry cans into their cars. Nothing wrong with that I hear you cry! but the track has it's own petrol station onsite with both regular and super unleaded petrol.
My curiosity aroused I asked one of the chaps about it, apparently it is a mixture of super unleaded petrol and various paint thinners :amazed: Gives your car a massive kick and is perfectly safe by all accounts. Also they put in just enough fuel to do a few laps thereby keeping the weight of the car down to the absolute minimum.
I have never heard of this before and I was wondering if this cocktail would be safe for road cars, and what proportion of thinners would you use per X amount of litres of petrol? Don't think I am brave enough to use it myself, I was just curious and hoped that someone could enlighten me.
