Hmmmmm - considerable activity in steering wheel area!!!!!

Then again - it was very wet. So, still an impressive drive. Reckon I'd have put it on t'grass- probably more than 1nce!

Was wet and notthe best tyres for the damp. Oh and loads of power.

I loved the shifting up of gears while sliding one handed around some of the corners.

And complete understeer at the follow through!!

Wasn't just my imagination then, the steering wheel had no influence whatsover on the direction of the car!!

Some skill there must say to keep it on the black stuff,

Sounds awesome, and that gearbox is great,

But 50k hmmm I think I'll stick to the westy

i wish they would give it run in the dry , they also run the r500 in the wet, makes me wonder if they do it on purpose, the drifting looks good but its all time on the clock

i know its 50k ,,,but what a weapon

that reminds me of a blue radical i once saw at a very wet blyton park! only i never caught a single slide and ended up facing backwards at least once a lap

My favourite Cat lap round the TG circuit...

Yes that steering is a hanfull, but the power ..... the power.

That gearbox costs more than my car build and running costs for 10 years LOL.
