white rx7 competing at totb?

[rx jamie]

who was the hero drifting  in the white rx7 on the handling course?  

i have to say awesome driving fella :driving  made simon norris\'s efforts look very poor lol :Giggle

It was Pete Barber who we build and tune his engine.
He came 3rd in the handling course for rear wheel rive cars only being beaten by two Caterhams!
When he did top speed runs they didn\'t put the timer on! His speedo said 165mph.
That is over 1 kilometer from standing start I believe.
He also managed a 12.2 1/4 in the wet.

Funniest thing was the commentator who when Pete drifted the course was heard saying "Oh No, He\'s lost it! Oh no he hasn\'t, Oh no he\'s lost it again,oh no he hasn\'t!"LOL!
He was able to link the whole course in one complete drift.

pretty impressive to watch. had his door open at one point my mate said. i missed that bit though..

that commentator was brilliant, kept calling simon norris \'steve\' :Giggle

whats the spec of that rx7? its obviously a single turbo bridgeport?

i have my engine down with you guys now. hopefully mine will behave as well as petes when its done. dont think it missed a beat all day.
