gee_fin Posted September 7, 2003 Author Posted September 7, 2003 Crossposted from Blatchat, interesting entries - "Gerry Marshall in Baby Bertha Mike Endean in his new 1,000 bhp per tonne 4X4 Puma Julian Godfey in his 600bhp road going RS200 A Force SR8 using 2 hyabusa engines A Dax Hyabusa Turbo James Tiller's 200mph Allard" Thoroughly looking forward to seeing/hearing the twin-Busa SR8....

peterg Posted September 7, 2003 Posted September 7, 2003 think you might be a tad disappointed then, the SR8 has been running at every meeting at Gurston Down this year and although it's gradually getting sorted the sound isn't actually as erm i'nspiring' as you'd hope (not for me at any rate) Quote
XTR2Turbo Posted September 12, 2003 Posted September 12, 2003 And a bit of video SBD on start line Video Difficult parking so get there early if going. David Quote

gee_fin Posted September 15, 2003 Author Posted September 15, 2003 Whole load of photos here - http://www.aoow37.dsl.pipex.com/brighton/ We got a class win, a 13.01@109mph. Not overly impressive but all the times on the day were about 0.7s off (what you would expect at the Pod/elsewhere) due to the traction off the start line at Brighton. Had a few moans from other competitors (mainly the Minis) in class about running the car in the road-going class. What made me laugh was that the over 1400cc road-going class was pure Caterham/Westfield/Fury/etc, we're in the under 1400cc (naturally) and yet still get hassle. Even though the car was driven 200miles to the event and was the only one with road-legal rubber on and the only one not trailered there! *shrugs* Anyways, roll on Santa Pod Graeme. Quote
westy Posted September 15, 2003 Posted September 15, 2003 was this the puma you were refering to on the left? Quote
gee_fin Posted September 15, 2003 Author Posted September 15, 2003 Yep, one awesome machine. Got some more photos of it when I recharge the camera, and some video footage. Rumoured to be in the 1000bhp area, 4WD, custom sequential, carbon everywhere, utterly beautiful (well, in a custom carbon monster kind of way). Quote
ChrisG Posted September 16, 2003 Posted September 16, 2003 According to the Gould website, who built the car, its got an engine in it developed from a turbo era F1 car! Quote
