Was that the car that did a couple of laps before retiring? I was standing about Butchers, and saw an FD poodle by very slowly - looked like something was wrong :(

Whats the spec on the dragon car? :chat

Pete Barbers drift RX7 seems to have developed a problem in that the end of a spark plug has come off in the engine,so we are going to investigate. He borrowed a Toyota soarer and broke the gearbox!

So that was both bumpers ripped off and a gearbox:2Rolleyes, he still put up a good show considering it wasn\'t his own car.
Me and the kids were gutted he didn\'t have his car as we were there last year when he won and were hoping for a bit of the same.
Wee truck did you have an rx7 with you?

Im running the black car this year its around 450 bhp full cage very good swift suspension, alot of lightening with plastic windows, frp hatch etc stripped loom digi dash,brembo brakes, not a road car anymore really.
budget wise the series is around 1500 to enter and then with fuel to get there and for car plus staying food and consumables its got be over 500 a round. Its not cheap but why build a car capable if you dont use it!
