[ado]

Most of you will have seen it but thought I'd share it since I stumbled upon it whilst searching for something else.



Non Cup.

I feel slightly smug.

Now now mark. When are ET going to release their Goodwood dates? I want to go.

 

[MarkCup]

All depends on Goodwood...hopefully soon.

Guess you havnt seen my colt then, that one the version R is 145bhp mine is 220-240bhp. But yer looks are marmite and too tall!.

This one has caused much amusement in the office, what with the guy next to me just buying a CTR and me buying a 200. LOL

 

[ado]

I expect your 200 has an advantage being JT's old car. We know how he runs it in.

Yup, it will have been treated exactly how it would have been treated in my hands, only it's probably been washed more often. It's got every option going!

i didnt expect the 200 to get the CTR

 

[JamesWilson]

Tsuchiya is a driving legend!

 

[Mr Burns]

Good to hear you've upgraded, Lee. You'll have to let me know your views on the gearbox in this one, I wouldn't mind another Mk3!

 

[steviet]

So, would an EP3 fared any better??

 

[Mr Burns]

I doubt it, the press would lead you to believe it would be somewhere between the FN2 and the 200 by the end of the race.

 

[jayxx83]

Minis fastest lap was not far off the 200.

 

[danzel]

Cracking vid, never thought the 200 would catch the CTR though either!

 

[M4D M4X]

Good vid, the abarth put up a rubbish fight though but the more i see them the more i like the colour and want to do my car.

 

[Mr Burns]

It's worth noting that a minor difference in handling, tyres or driver ability makes a massive difference on track.

 

[Iain C]

good vid. So the 500 is a huge waste of money then?
The 200 was held up by the colt for a while so was amazing it caught an passed the civic

 

[one in a million]

that made me smile hehe

Great vid. Really impressed by the type R considering how pants it's supposed to be. You can see how much fun the 200 is to drive. And although i love the sound both engines (200 + type-r ) make it always impresses me the way the type R's lump just flies up the rev range with absolutely no complaint. It really is only happy when it's being raped. Makes me miss the B16 all over again.

Glad all the turbo cars did pants as i'm just not a fan of turbo's. I can't argue with a turbo's ability especially these days but i hate driving them.
