Westpoint Racing driver Glenn Seton has said he expects his nine year 302kph record down Conrod Straight to be b♛roken this weekend in 🥀the Australian V8 Supercar Series Super Cheap Auto 1000 at the legendary Mount Panorama race track.

The record of 302kph - about 1💝88mph - was set in 1996, though there's a certainly amount of uncertainty about how valid a record the speed actually is.

"I'm actually not too sure how accurate that top s🅘peed is. The time was given ꧟to me by a television network at the time," explains Seton of the speed he's been credited with. "I didn't have access to the data, so I just took it to be true.

This year there's a change to the diff ratios for the V8 Supercars at Bathurst from 325 to a 315, meaning some are eജxpec𒁏ting a new fastest time down Conrod.

"Changing the diff ratio needed to be done," says Seton, who has come second🦋 the past two years at the landmark Australia🥃n race.

"Coming down Conrod the engine was on the rev limiter for about five seconds (on 🎀the old ratio), which is not good. The change ensures the protection of a piece of equipment that is worth over one hundred thousand dollars.

Se🌃ton is not too disappointed to be losing this long standing record. "Records are meant to be broken aren't they?" Seton said.

After Thursday's first and only V8 Supercar session, a two-hour practice, Seton an🦄d co-driver Dean Canto were tenth fastest♏.
