have you guys seen these things???

to quote the website: they run a Yamaha 1200cc four cylinder 16 valve twin-cam engine producing 125bhp with integral close ratio straight cut gear sequential dog engagement gearbox.

and they only weigh 450 kg!! :eek:

my friend's brother has just bought one...he's going up next week to get the car and some training from Phil Ward, the guy who's behind these things.

The car itself cost him around 32K, but he's looking for sponsorship...he's sent a proposal to Shell (umm yeah the company, not me ) to paint it up like a Shell Helix car, but hasn't heard anything yet.

apparently he will pay around $450 to race in a round. That includes his pit, and passes for his pit crew (ie mates!!) for the weekend.

His first race will be Wakefield and the end of Sept apparently.

I think I'm gonna go up and watch, these things look cool! I wanna see them on the track

they started racing about 5 years age at calder park in melb when the nascars used to race, they would race around the pit lane and went pretty hard.

They were on the power tour until it went under the other week, I last heard they were looking at sticking commonwhore or falcon front ends on them and supporting the supercars.

There was one running at Wakefield on the last UAS track day back in April- pretty quick little cars.
