[ukaskew]

Cracking day at Combe today, first race for the AJEC AAA 4WD Saloons, so some very powerful machinery out racing for the first time...

Nice pics, did the Clio have an off the undertray is hanging down?

 

[Mr Burns]

Lovely selection of pics, awesome!

same, looked good when it was first done, but seems to get worse and worse each time

Function over form. Aesthetics are the last thing you think about really with a race car.

The Evo 3 he used in the Special GTs last season seems to be the better race car, but this one certainly draws more attention to the series (the Escort won the race, btw)

 

[MaLicE]

tbh he cant drive it very well (on about the swb not just cars in general lol) saw him spin it in a straight line

Standard of racing was surprisingly good in that series today, he was pretty racey with Kilby's Evo (which only had 4th and 5th for the whole race) and Williamson's Escort. Apparently the SWB had a fault which meant it was 200bhp down on power, but I imagine that helped more than hindered.

I got a pic of Simons car on fire/smoking!
I'll get them up in a minute - however yours put mine to shame
There was loads of RS parked up today, noticed a few CS.net stickers.

 

[Jamie]

Some good shots. Very sharp. Imagine it's an expensive bit of kit to get those results?

 

[Bluebeard]

Was supposed to be there today, but my conservatory roof decided to leak meaning I spent all day up a fcuking ladder.

FFS.

Yup, loads about as always, RIXPH in the car park near the paddock as well. Also spotted my sixth new Focus RS in two days (4 within a 2 mile radius of my house at completely different times yesterday), how many have they sold?!

Pretty much! £600 camera and £1000 lens. Can get similar(ish) results with much cheaper equipment if you know what you're doing though.

I'll pretend fb has destroyed the quality of these photos - they are as good as skews... honest

Start of with my mates brothers RX-7, running just over 600bhp. It's pretty awesome.

This RX-7 was in last months Banzai magazine if i remember correctly.

Fellow CSers car

Not really worth me posting any race shots, none of them turned out very well.

Simons car on fire/smoke/steam (smelt like it was on fire when i got round there).
He really needs to hire a decent driver to race this car for him. I just don't think he has got what it takes.

Prodive of somesort?

 

[Ash87]

really want to get to some future rounds of this

 

[ukaskew]

Prodive of somesort?

Similar concept to the Prodrive P1, but apparently it's an 'Evo X1 Concept Coupe'

 

[Will.]

I would have been there if it wasn't for work swapping my shift from yesterday to today. Love these days. Looks like some nice cars out

 

[Nafoff]

i never knew anything of it...doh

the ajec evo X, was that racing? i saw it at autosport and the set-up looks to have not changed since then, it doesn't look set-up for racing at all

conneh - i saw that rx7 heading towards exeter on the a303 last weekend, thought it may have been a dragon performance one heading that way

 

[jim cook]

Great pics guys was a good start to the year. i love the way Norris fell over the Armco after he got out of his evo..........Classic

 

[Alastair.]

mc lovin, thats fecking cool

And there was me looking for a fat hairy sweaty bloke,dragging a nipper around
scrounging fag's and beer off of tramps.

Oh and nice pic's Chris

 

[conneh]

Yea Phree its one of Dragons, no idea if you know the owner Brad. My mates just bought his old s15 off him - which i have just been out in and it is brutal. 400odd bhp s15 in pink with a silver roof. Fully stripped, jungle jim roll cage etc. Ry and Brad (his younger brother) create some awesome cars. It's pretty cool having some mates in the drift scene, their cars are unreal. I know Brad was in Exeter Thursday night i think?


Who owns 'k20 CUP'? Seen that today aswell.

 

[Nafoff]

i am surpriesd at my knowledge...lol

[Englebert]

Nice pics as always! What has happened to the Norris Evo?! Used to look mean, looks shocking now.

As the commentator noted, Adrian Newey would weep if he saw that rear diffuser

i thought ross at dragon sold or swapped the pink rx7 for the pink s15? either way i really want the boot hatch on the pink rx7 just cos its ugly lol!

the blue rx7 is my mate alex's car, i was at pod with him last year for one of the final shows he blew it up on the way there when we both dicked a scooby except he blew up and i just gave up in the end cos my clutch was slipping like a fat b**ch on ice.

 

[conneh]

The pink S15 was just sold to my mate from Brad for £10k (LOL). This one

Brad also owns that Pink Rex. His younger brother alos has a pink R34 GTS-T, which is pushing out silly power. But has also just bought a GTR pushing out 800bhp (Or is in the process of).

No idea who Ross is, i havn't been to dragon sports or know anyone there.
