Car is a trackcar but has been converted to do a couple rallies here.

Finished weight is 806kg.

Pic of it in action. Came second in its group in its first outing.Races in a class called group B because it is underweight.Races against some very high powered machinery.

In its new livery for the big event this weekend. Rally Barbados

We have Procter, Meeke, Phil collins and lots of other big drivers here competing.

very nice! I think Rob Brook from Middlesex County Motor Club is over, not competing I dont think, he competed in a Cadbury's sponsored silver 205 a few years ago.
