MAXIMUM MPH Calculator

[RS2000CUSTOM]

Try this excel programme I made.

Put your gearbox ratio's, diff ratio and tyre size into green boxes.

It will calculate your possible top speed in each gear.

The calculator works well but I may need to check the maths for the wheel/tyre rolling circumference.
