Two race cars! How the other half live ey. Looks good that Jez, there are a coupe that race at Combe in the Sports GT. One has a Tigra body the other is TT.

Are you thinking of bringing it up to Intermarque spec?

Both are in bits though Craig

i have seen both at Coombe ,I believe both are having big upgrades for the new season ,mine is going Intermarque plus as they restrict them a fair bit .My mate is hoping to race his new TT at Coombe this year ,his is built to Intermarque spec.

Are you only doing Coombe or you doing TARC aswell

They do go well. I remember watching Matt Simpson there in his against the Barry Sqiuib Evo. Superb race that was, two totally different machines.

I want to do all Hot Hatch meetings, but the first one has TARC as the visiting club which is awkward. I cant decide weather to do the two races with TARC against my friends or the single race with CCRC against strangers.

I do also have a Class A Clio now for Tricolore which confuses things even more !

How does the Clio compare with the Nova? I reckon you would have a good chance of winning the CCRC championship if you do all the rounds. You are obviously super posh having two up together race cars ��

MORE photos are needed. That looks very cool.

Thanks for sorting the pic Ben ,it's in lots of bits now and tbh it's a well used car so showing it's age tbh. I plan to thrash the nuts off it this year once it's ready ,then strip it in the winter and get the frame blasted and powder coated to make it a bit prettier

I'm being dumb, but what is it? Mercedes?

Yes it's basically a national hot rod SLk so spaceframe with a fibreglass SLK shell,live rear axle and wishbone front

Haha, Touche I'm not particularly impressed with the Clio. Its a lovely build and is on Jenvey injection, but wouldn't currently get anywhere near the Nova.

I'll give CCRC a whirl, but have seen the registrations and there are some serious machines out there.

How are the classes structured ,will they be in your class? I don't think there would be too many 2.0 litre NA cars that would be majorly quicker than yours
