The atom was not really setting any records that especially when I saw an old Citroen ax overtake it.

Ps its wierd seeing the foot peddles as it confuses me lol

Thanks

Here is a supercharged atom at Llandow:

VIDEO

At 2:25 he spins it in front of me and at 4:22 you see him pi55 past me as my fuel pump blocked and I cut out.

He edited out the good bit though, where I caught and passed him, riding on Brookie off here's old wheels (cheers!)

The good bit is his camera is really good so he must have some cracking footage of me storming past him at home lol

Atoms are great fun! That one was quick in a straight line though!

You're making me envious with the trackday video, especially with my car currently being off the road, the zetec turbo looks to go rather well, but does the Atom brake as you pass him around 1min 20sec as you just see a flash of red light on the right side of the Atom?

Agreed Dave, you know how quick these are round there after seeing some last year from memory and that wasnt pushing hard IMHO.

I came up against 2 last year there who were pushing 1min 8 secs round there!!!

The locost goes like a rocket but sounds a bit tractor-like.
