What distance in what time covered in a Plop?
I'm thinking about some of the road going endurance claims, and wondering just how many miles a top / winning Plop team would cover in the course of a race, and would that be over 12 or 24 hours?

Batcave racing won at Mallory last week covering 222 laps at roughly 1.4 miles a lap and due to a slightly later start than normal we had about 6 hours 35 minutes track time .

I thought these Plop endurance races were 24 hours?

219 X 1.4 = 306.6 miles in 395 minutes.
This equates to 46.57 mph. And if maintained for 24 hours, would give a ride of 1117.73 miles.
I did 1075 miles in 23hrs 35 minutes on the roads. 42.73 miles less than under racing conditions.
I'm minded to be calling out this so called JOGLE by ex TT rider with van support.

Hillier's time for JOGLE was 17 hours and 6 minutes.
874 miles in 17.1 hours = 51 mph average
... on a stock C90?
