The F1 Rejects Evolution Challenge.

Hello everyone, during my internet travels I have discovered an interesting website:
http://rednuht.org/genetic_cars_2/
The basic premises is 20 "cars" (Two spinning connected wheels) are placed onto a "track" (an increasingly difficult line course) and the cars must attempt to get as far as possible. The script learns what the most successful cars are and they are genetically mutated a little to see if they can get a little further along the course, so fantastically the field improves (or at least should) gradually with each generation.
The course is generated from seeds and would be the same course for any specific string of numbers and letters, so here is the challenge, enter the seed "Silverstone" and try and beat my record. If enough people are interested I can get a proper series going, the beauty is this takes very little time as the Ai does all the work for you, you can just control variables such as mutation rate and number of "Elite" clones.
After the first 50 generations this is my record, 155.88 Metres. There is a nasty bump at 151 metres and so far progress from there has proved very slow for me, but maybe you guys can do better!
