The car itself is apsolutely mental, it is running a 300bhp ovlov 2.3 turbo on emerald management which was pulling major wheelies and spitting flames on the rolling road! Next race meeting were going to put on a onboard camera and i'll link the videos for you guys

Oh and keep a eye out in walkers workshop in the next issue of ppc as it might be in there!

Woooooh, that's going to be crazy! be seeing more sky than grass!!

The F600's are stupid quick so this will be a handful to say the least. Credit to your dad for building the beast

I bet thats a reet giggle on grass!

Fook me . My brother bought a t5 estate a few weeks ago, and it's quite nippy, so that thing must be focking mental!

lol love it, i wouldnt have the balls to drive that flat out!

This is brilliant!! How much would you say it weighs roughly? I bet the power to weight rivals just about anything lol lol

Has your dad let you have a go yet? :)

Haha it is an awesome machine Josh

Awesome indeed, any footage of this beasty in action then? :d

It weighs roughly between 500 and 600 kg (although the engine looks big it's all alloy block) And when you say let me have a go, he's let me drive it round the farm but said i couldn't go out of first gear :roll:
Oh and it's mine when i'm 17 as i could finish juniors this year or next because of my birthday but i want to do the extra year

Oh and will have some videos of it going next weekend!
We did one meeting with it, he was "taking it easy" (scared) but on full boost out of the corner the driveshaft snapped and sent him spinning... and spinning... and e.t.c.... :eek: just changed a driveshaft and off he went again

looks like fun mate

Sounds mental... I await for the madness to be shown :d

I can't wait for some good videos to!, with the emerald management it has a 3 way switch with different maps that we can change on the move, the highest has about 1 bar of boost for now but we are going to up it, on the middle setting with dad taking it easy it was with the twin bikes round the corners and the beginning of the straight but as soon as the boost kicked in it was gone

Are they peugeot 205 alloys btw?

Yes....

Didnt fail on that though.. lol

There 205 alloys on the back and porche 924 on the front

grassers are cool :cool: there is grass tracking not far from me my dads mates "team robertson" were into it alot then thay started racing superstox at the stock cars

do you know team robertson?lol

No i don't know roberts' son lol , nah mate i have no idea!

Looks an absolute animal that!
How much does it roughly cost a season to run one of these?only asking as few of my mates race F2 stock cars and as much as I'd like to do a season I know financially(sp?) it would cripple me!lol
