I noticed that Jim was very definite about running in 4th gear when asked on Saturday.

Yes but if your car produces a billion horsepower it will do that in all gears, it is just easier to measure if you use a higher one.
Ideally you would use 6th as that gives you the greatest granularity, but completely pointless.

I think a trip to motorscopes rolling road pays dividends, at least you can walk away with a smile on your face :laugh:

....If your point is that going on JKM's DD rollers doesn't pay dividends and you don't walk away smiling, you ought to think again. As has been said countless times and is appreciated by most drivers, it's all about driveability and the plotted curves - Not all about willy waving the highest bhp numbers. It's all relative and a rolling-road session is an opportunity to health-check your car. Several folks were very glad that JKM were able to identify and solve minor problems on their cars and will have driven away smiling.

Thanks to you and JKM for organising a great day, Robin :happy2: . Here is the plot from my Octavia VRS running a 'developmental' map which should be equivalent to a Stage 2+
Will post up on Sy's sticky thread too.
