Sam@BTM in his X-Bow @ Oulton Park, plus others. 23/11/11

[_Tom]

Looks great. Why did i always have it in the back of my mind that x-bows weren't that quick?

 

[Englebert]

Imagine from road tests like this:
http://www.evo.co.uk/carreviews/car...tus_2eleven_v_ariel_atom_v_caterham_r500.html

The reality is that Sam's isn't a road car. Just because it looks similar doesn't mean the specification is...

 

[Sam@NP]

Quick little video of Donny. This is a pretty early video and as you can see its before we had the Sequential Box

 

[dmallett]

Some nice pictures.
From that video, that thing certainly does shift and some epic driving also!

 

[Englebert]

So did you do the Britcar night race Sam, your surname is Mowle right?

 

[Fred@BTM]

^surname Mowle, middle name Duke, he was in the x-bow that cut you up Fenn!

 

[Englebert]

Yeah, i remember that! Was a bit confused as he was listed in a Ginetta rather than the usual KTM...

 

[Fred@BTM]

he'll give anything with an engine a go, and anything with a pulse too

 

[Gally]

Lols! Forum wars Fenn!

<3 teh Sam.

 

[Frasers Cup]

he's won races in it so it cant be that bad, results speak for themselves.

Against Radicals?? Really?

 

[Riad]

Against Radicals?? Really?

Considering there was a radical on the track day that couldn't keep with him i guess so!

The DC5's are owned by mates of mine.

CW with carbon bonnet owned by Dan - bolts ons and Kpro. Approx 260bhp
Blue with carbon bonnet owned by luke - 2.2 stroker, cosworth pistons, toda cams, Kpro, spoon manifold and full system, RBC, Gruppe M. 282bhp
NHB owned by Mike - cat back only

 

[Sam@NP]

The Blue DC5 sounded glorious. I loved hearing it ever time he went passed the pits.

 

[TimR26]

Awesome pictures and the X-Bow looks great

 

[Scrooge]

No, i meant when it comes to racing in a class, as it is a race car. Bell end.

It was a joke you f**king lunch.

 

[ch!ppen]

Lol at people calling it for being 'heavy' and the likes. I see the forum has many experts.

Nice photo's and nice motor. I'd love a go in something like that

No mate!

 

[Alex H]

Looks awesome! Reckon I could keep up though, fancy a race Sam?

What radical? Sr3? Doubt it would see which way an Sr8 went.....

 

[Naith]

do you work for radical?! jesus. its a race car, a quick one at that. the kids won in it, won. it does its job.

how can that be argued.

 

[Meek_racing]

As above, the fact that Sam and his old man have won races speaks volumes over their choice to run and develop the car.

 

[Englebert]

LOL, no need to jump on the lad.

Fair to say Sam was simply a better driver than the Radical's on the day. Even a SR3 would be considerably quicker with the same driver - they are faster than a current GT2 car.

 

[Naith]

course there is, all the guy did was come on here and say "orrr the xbow is rubbish" without putting a positive on it or looking into the full story.

whys he comparing two totally different cars.

I never said the car was rubbish just wondering why he went for that over other options.... And they are both road legal track day cars so I think you need to check your facts....

 

[Don Shaleone]

Every thread on cs turns to an argument :banghead:

 

[Meek_racing]

Just backing up the scruffy haired student and his choice for race car

Our car is not road legal as it is a GT4 Race car. We chose it because it looks better then a radical, built better and can be ran in highly professional FIA championships such as British/Euro GT, N24, Spa 24 hours etc.

Lulz... That'll teach him to 'check his facts'.

Tbf, i can imagine the KTM being better built too. The Radical is surely a bit more 'kitcar' compared to the KTM?
