Race prepared by Dave pearce of DAP performance in huddersfield. Notable entries on his CV ? used to work for triple 888 on the Astra touring cars, so knows his stuff.


Heres a video of it going round Oulton Park


Car is producing about 300bhp and is fully stripped out, cage , full racing suspension etc..

Current lap record at oulton ? 1 minute 27

What did this car do it in ? 1 minute 53, on the full 2.7 mile circuit .. that takes about an extra 30 seconds to navigate. Making his comparable lap time around the 1 minute 25 area.

I know its not unheard of for unrestricted track cars to go faster than the heavily restricted BTCC cars, but i was still impressed, even for nothing else other than his driving !
 
looks good but it must be the audio on the video clip - it sounds crap like he hardly isbooting it at all and is shortshifting most of the time, however he does reel the elise in pretty quickly. 1st minute of the video made me really travel sick, not sure if it is the perspective from the camera or the wine....
