Ten of the Best IV

[Wutputt]

Here are my pics of Ten of the Best IV, held at some airfield in North England. The event is set up to find the fastest road legal car in Britain, at least out of the contenders, by doing ¼ miles, top speed runs and a handling course.

You can find all about the trip over here: http://www.motorworld.net/forum/showthread.php?t=29288

So let’s start with the pics:

This is how the tarmac looked after some of the cars started to do their ¼ mile run. And yes there were some 9 second cars ;)

Really nice way to dress the roof of your car in the UK:

Not all went great for everyone though. This is what happened to one of the GT-R owners: his carbon fibre bonnet came of around 180 mph:

Luckily he could borrow a bonnet from one of the other GT-R owners ;)

[SilviaEvo]

wow i love that FD with the Mazdaspeed bumper on it. its so gorgeous! and that white scooby with the flame is pretty cool. and all those skylines! i can only count the number of Skylines ive seen on one hand! all in all seemed like a brilliant turn out and many great pics!

[TT]

Nice bunch of pics dude! The yellow 996 Gt2 and the 993 GT2 are stunnig!!

[ARMAN]

Great pics Wutputt as always, M5 is my favorit :P

[SPEEDKILLAR]

Thanks, just love the Turbo S :shock:

And I enjoyed your report(sorry, didn't catch it when you posted it), and I must say, it was quite an amusing read :D

[dingo]

Brilliant stuff - a nice collection of 911's which is always nice! :D The Turbo S is great, probably the best colour for a 993TT. The rear wing on that 993 GT2 is tiny - disappointing. :P

Oh and those last two pics are great - can only imagine what they were wearing earlier. :shock:

[sikx5]

Great pics dude! Thanks

Loved the shot of the FQ line up very much!

Also that Insane skyline, hahaha, nice touch. The Quattro shot was a great one also!!

Thanks dude.

:mrgreen:

[Schwalbe]

This "Ten of the Best IV" event seems really cool judging by the diversity of the cars.

When a see all these turbocharged cars (R34,GT2,EVO VI,Ur Quattro, Escort Cosworth...) I think this event should be called "Turbo Fest IV". :wink:

Thanks for those cool pix Wutputt ! :D

Turbo powered cars are apparently more suited for fast 1/4 mile runs in the UK.



Oh and those last two pics are great - can only imagine what they were wearing earlier. :shock:
hehe :mrgreen:

As far as I can remember (but maybe that's just a personal interpretation of the reality) they were only wearing those shortpants, those tops (not sure this is the correct English word) and boots ;)
