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!

Work-in-Progress: Changed to Zetec + T9. Still trying!!

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!!

Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

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

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

R620 test car on the Ring

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.
