Any driver that sees you coming up from behind will say "Yellow" (Hello) and when you have past them they will have the "blues"

A standard GTR does a lap in 114.5 apparently so that seems pretty slow for full on race car!

Let\'s not forget that the 50,000 quid GTR is a super car killer. So it\'s not shrouding it\'s quick round Combe.

Not forgetting that at all buddy. But how much would it cost to get a car to compete with that time? Not forgetting that is standard, no boost increase, no lightening, no fancy suspension etc etc

Would be interesting to see what time Jon from Atomic was lapping Combe!

The Putts with engine built and tuned by us regularly lapped Combe in the 1.11\'s and 1.12\'s in Castle Combe GT\'s and no one else with a rotary has been that quick so far.

Thanks Casey, interested in the rotaries classification!

Competition PZ runs in a A2 I think.  But he has an RX8 PZ on semi slicks with no other mods.
RX8 High Power, Cusco Coilovers, Dotz wheels and flames. Shoe Size 12
 
Apparently putting details of your car spec in your signature means the nice folks on exile-rotorsport think you\'re a fool.  I can think of no higher compliment!

Watch RX8\'s racing in the Trans Am series on Motors TV. They race against Ferrari 458, Porsche 911, Corvettes and Camaros and have been winning some of the races.
Engines give around 480 BHP and with the body kit they look great. Go to Dempsey racing website for full spec of car. Also good luck with your project Clive. Next time I am getting the RX7 serviced at Carl\'s I hope to see the car / engine being worked on.
