[coombsie66]

Dont know if i'd agree with the driver getting better :? :P :wink:

[pterps]

The car is impressive but the driver isn't :?

[pagani]

Regared less of the simon norris.
This one the best tuned road cars in the uk now and maby in the world.
I wonder what times this car would set with a proper racing driver.
:D :o

[spanky]

Looked like it had plenty of power! Thanks for the link 8)

Im sorry but that is utter crap! It is one of the MOST tuned road cars in the uk, you cant say its one of the best, christ it has no interior, the most ridiculous lag ever and barely legal semi slicks. It is no longer a road car IMO, its a racing car with plates, same as all the guys i see a local hill climbs, its cheaper driving than trailering it to events!!!
Now, cars such as techart tuned porsches, hartge BMW's etc THOSE are some of the best ROAD cars in the world.

Yes the evo is quick in a straight line, it doesnt look that well set up (still) but its made out to be so much more than it is. I would have thought you'd know pagani, youve posted some really good scandinavien stuff on here, and some of the projects over there are absolutely incredible! I just dont rate this norris evo. :|

[RC45]

^^ I have to agree coombs... the cra is loud and brash, but looks to be over-powered and I am confident a well driven Caterham or Exige would have lapped as quick ;)

All that noise and accelleraiton showmanship then the locked up wheels and sliding,,, like drifting, great show but not very quick ;) :P

[pagani]

This car has won a few things.
It's the totb 4wd class champion.
But on a tight circuit a lesser powered car will be faster.
On a faster more open track this thing is pretty fast.
Maby of they tune this car back to 600 650 hp it would do allot better.
I think he used 2,3 bar boost pressure in the video i think that is about 840 hp.
:D :o

Like what? The most unstable sedan on the track?


It's the totb 4wd class champion.

Champion of what? The butchered corner entry contest? What was the competition like?


But on a tight circuit a lesser powered car will be faster.
On a faster more open track this thing is pretty fast.

Quantify "pretty fast" - and when has this comparison and measurement been done?


Maby of they tune this car back to 600 650 hp it would do allot better.
I think he used 2,3 bar boost pressure in the video i think that is about 840 hp.
:D :o
So it's not really that good then? ;)

[rave426]

That is the worst driving I have seen in a long while. BTW, I dont think that would be very fufilling as a road car.

So this test is no different to the 10,000hp ShootOUt Road & Track did.. except the Road & Track one requires street legal cars ;)

[pagani]

All cars most be road legal and you have one class for unlimted type of cars anything go's in this class only for extreme cars.
This event is sort of the same as the road and track shootout the only thing that is diffrent is that is held at a airfield.
:D :D

A selection of videos for you RC, make up your own mind of the professionalism and viability of the totb competition :wink: :P 8)
Looks like a jumped up autocross to me...

[RC45]

^^ So are those permanent or temp 1/4 strips? I am wondering, if these crews, cars and teams are so good and so fast, why don't they enter cars in the pro-drag racing circuit and make real money?

Exactly, mario, the guy with austrailia's quickest 4wd car (dont know if it still is) the exvitermini R33 skyline went over to the uk on his travels, went to the totb event and totally discredited it.
You hit the nail on the head there though RC 8)

[RC45]

See - nothing gets past you Highwycombe boys aye... not no fake drag racing or wicked terrorists :P

[pagani]

The strip is just a tempory one.
And then tend run slower times than let's say at the santapod dragstrip.
Dragracing is not that big here in europe unlike the us.
European people are more in to circuit racing than dragracing.
Their is a far as i kown no pro dracing in europe and not a single pro dragracing championship in europe.
The top cars at tob of the best are bench mark for the tuning company's in the uk.
And yes the handling challange is just a big autocross track.
European dragracing is far behind compared to austrailia or the us.

:D :roll: :( :D

Thats what happens when you take a twitchy pogo stick of a car and shorten it a good 2 feet and triple it's power. It would be fun to pound the crap out of, but ultimately useless.

[PaulGT2164]

looks like alot of fun to me :D

[pagani]

This car wil be allot better if he used less turbo 1,5-2,0 bar.
And in the base it's very build car only less turbo boost would be better.
Sometimes to much power is not good.
:D :lol:
