Not only was a BEC beaten by a road car it was a front wheel drive road car!!! 
As said though, unless you were in the twisties your car wouldn't have been in it's sweet spot.
If you are running an SVA map, it may be way out considering that you are running a new cam and missing 3rd was the nail in the coffin.

Unfortunately I didn't take my camcorder with me on Saturday to Llandow. There was a Clio Sport on track but it didn't put up much of a
fight. I was after more extreme cars such as an Audi 1.8T engined Elise and fully optioned Exige S2 with the supercharged Toyota engine and Ohlins
suspension. Actually the only car on the day to make my car look slow! The Audi/Elise was certainly quick but broke when I was following it after a
coupe of laps.

thank you all for your supportive and helpful comments....!
A weeks shopping is easy (despite no boot). You load up the passenger footwell, the space behind the passenger seat, and the Mrs then holds the rest
very tightly! She couldn't see where we were going due to the large shopping bag on her lap! I decided not to buy a crate of beer - I
don't think she would have been too keen!

To be fair the other car which has made my Striker look slow on track was another Striker with a Hayabusa. I have more power now but the extra weight
in mine would still put me at a disadvantage.

There's still no shame in being passed by a Clio,as at least they follow the BEC ethos of fairly light weight,and a quite powerfull engine,and I
still can have as much fun in my £2000 Clio as I did in my £12000 BEC's,but as much as I enjoy it, like I said before,its never going to be as
quick as a well driven S7ven
But here's a video of mine from my last weeks outing at Cadwell,my chav car on track might be of interest to some of
you.

Update - I have found out who owns the Clio. My neighbour is mates wth him! It is running ITBs, cams, full zorst etc. Apparently, it is puttin out
~240bhp, but don't know if that is true...!? Eitherway, he is arranging another meeting, this time, minus the shopping!

say goodbye mr clio driver ha ha ha
it sounds like its had some pennies thrown at it.
funnily i was offered a race by a lad in an astra turbo t'other day
but first he showed me the dyno print out showing it was 300 bhp.
sat at the lights (on my private road)
when they went green i i set of with some mega wheelspin into second more wheelspin
got to the end of the road and about 30 seconds later the astra pulled up
its now for sale and he is looking at buying a bike engine 7
