Had this conversation other day with Richy, there are loads more 182s around than there ever were 172s

Therre was a good mix of cars at the ring and spa, every1 was happy to mix well. The way it should be.
Good site.
You/they have the Focus RS as 230bhp. There are some that high std but most were 212-225bhp out the factory.
But yeah pretty accurate for all the cars i know.
