Sorry for delay .
Ended up in London , was very tired .
Drive was great I'll put together something ASAP ( even though it was still NOT full power ) .
I do however have new information
Front engine being reprogrammed for higher rpm , this will mean it will be able to make power for longer and be decoupled at a higher speed . Acceleration figures will be better .
Systems are still being optimised to work together more efficiently .
Power figures are very conservative and final figure will probably be higher but this may not be announced .
Recharging on the move is even better now (after my laps in Seville a couple of days ago we went back in with only about 7 per cent less power , by putting the car in manual mode and keeping the revs around 4500 by the time we got back in the pits and parked up we were back at 92 per cent which was where we started) .
Max torque well is over 900 pounds feet now .
All of the above means the ring time can come down "significantly" and from what I hear they will probably go back and do it anyway ( regardless of la Ferrari and p1 ).
For anyone going out there for drives , I had it confirmed to me today the cars are NOT full power and the traction control is set up to be more intrusive than normal even though the drivers at the event may not confirm this to you .( 220 people will drive this car over 2 weeks they can't afford a crash I think , lol )
Weissach pack worth 3 seconds at the ring and it's mainly the aero and I sprung weight making the difference .
