i thought you ran an 11.1 Lou? either way i fully expect to see some record broken this year;-)
11.1 was @ t.o.t.b.4
11.2 was @ the pod with a terrible launch.

Richard Hammond did a very short test in a R. It must of been on Top Gear as I dont think he has done anything else? He compared it to an Escort Cosworth and I think an Evo. He said the Pusar "was the ultimate wholf in sheeps clothing". That was a few years back now. Think he used a car of here too. It was Black and had spotlamps in the grill
that was jason plato on driven, driving a pulsar, cosworth & scooby. iirc it was jasegoulds old car?

never heard of topgear test driving the R, & was lead to belive the danny fennel race was formed of several runs because the viper kept winning, dont know the truth in it though...

i think it was true but if you watch it he didnt launch it at all:? so if the gearbox was upto it he could have beaten it by more 8)

Never been an R on TG. Someone needs to get in touch tho and let the stig give the R a blatting round their track! Would be interesting to see the times compared to some of the expensive drivel they test drive!! :thumbsup:

That would be shithot, something standardish i.e. 1-1.2 bar with a handling kit would be well interesting to see against the new poobaru's and evo's.

You never know, we could be pioneering a new table for the Top Gear test track “tuned cars” :-D

its a plan

:roll: I think its a good idea, the modded car leaderboard e mail some other clubs? will have to keep out all the tuning company cars though ? i for one am getting a little sick of seeing the latest 911 shave .001 seconds of its lap time thanks to its "improved" carbon fibre, erm, lighter surround. it will give the "super car " drivers a right kick up the jacksie.

well, until they look across at there super model girlfriends and see us out of there windows eating chips in the rain anyway :doh:

Keep it real everyone, ciao

yip, still lookin.

would be good to see a comparison between all the standard 4wd cars of the same age, Integrale, Cosworth, Evo etc, would settle a lot of arguments :D

It'd be quality if they did, I'd love to see an R understeering right off the track :lol: ;)
