Cinquecento my cinq and mates race car

[Venters]

Track prepped XR2 brings back memories!


Don't like the Orion and Pepperpot combo in gold tho.
Black Pepperpots FTW!

and it was me that built that car in the pic too [well, obvously not BUILT it, but rather, prepped it], its relatavely low spec compared to a circuit racer, its a standard engine and box, totally stripped, rollover protection and race seat, internal door bars, home made wiring loom etc, set up to lap an oval race track in 19 seconds for a non contact rod formula. see www.buxtonraceway.com [cheeky plug!!] I used to race the formula myself before selling up my stuff and buying my cinq.

edit: wheels tend to be bigger on the front to enable better gearing, its not about looks in oval racing, but car set up to get it to go round the right hand corner faster than the rest. And sometimes that means different wheels all round based on offset and width. Tyres are limited to 185/60 R14 or R13 to road spec.

Mines was standard engine and geabox too. Brakes and suspension tho that was a different matter. Drilled disks, red stuff pads, dot 5 fluid and full coilovers. full cage with front and rear strut braces. God it could go round a corner!

Bloody Rot!
