Couple of Pics of the 406 incase anyone is interested

[Advikaz]

Couple of pics of the 406 Super Tourer my bro in law has been running for the last few years.

These are seriously cool bits of kit, despite being 25 years old they still go very very well when you want them to.

Interesting to run though as I’m sure you can imagine for what was essentially a prototype. Not a lot of spares around either.

Does some cool stuff, can give them a follow here for those that like cool s**t:

Love it. Was lusting after this one that is for sale in Australia a few weeks back.

Pat still has one or two of them. Been borrowing bits from him here and there 😂

Inc a steering rack that decided to snap spontaneously over the weekend.

A lot of them end up in New Zealand which some may find odd. I know I did.

Group A was immense.

Old motorsport is so much better than new motorsport !

They’re seriously trick bits of kit.

You can see how the budgets got so ridiculous when you look around them.

That is super cool mate, out of interest how do they compare lap time wise the newer stuff? i loved this era of touring car, proper racing.

There’s not much in it. But I think it’s key to point out that a lot of the drivers are am’s. But also that they’re all mostly being driven pretty sympathetically due to the sheer cost in repairs. Engines for example, in some cases are basically done after one weekend.

Properly prepped and given the beans I think it would be pretty close. Which is crazy really. I know last year Jake was comfortably doing 33’s on the gp on very old tyres..

Incredible that mate, must be a real labour of love though with the costs involved.

Absolutely.

There’s me moderately upset about putting a window in the side of my 2004 Renault Clio gearbox 😂

Also shows how far 'back' the engines were mounted for better balance !

This era BTCC was just incredible. Not to mention that classic, TOCA 2. Just an all out arms race.

There’s a really good pack of Super tourers for Assetto Corsa, they’re unbelievably fun to race, can only imagine the real thing.

Old school touring cars were so much better imo.

Better cars. Better drivers. Better racing.

So much to choose from. Super tourers. Group A etc. Amazeballs
