Big Bang @ Santa Pod Sunday just gone ( ESC class )
Had a blow out at 140 mph just before finishing line - car hit the side wall and took off
Front end was totalled but thankfully it didnt roll and Paul was unhurt.
Running a 2.0 4cyl lump ( 742 horses without gas )
( normal run )

Its running a 2.1 motor, steel billet crank, arrow rods, cat cams, 1mm oversize supertech valves fitted to ported/flowed big port head, direct port nos ( 100 Shot ) Garret GT35 turbo, 44mm tial external wastegate, fitted to bispoke tubular manifold, sequential gear box with diesel final drive, Aldex 4 wheel drive / G60 Rallye rear end + lots of other goodies.
742 horses + 100 shot of the funny stuff.
I ran a street legal A3 with a similar set up that was Stupid quick ( ran 10's )
pushing out 527 / 488 lbft on low boost ( made 598 but we backed it off for reliability ) . Car weighed 970kg.
I looked forward to waking up on a Sunday morning and taking the car out for a run down the A59 in Lancs. It pretty much nailed every "supercar" & "superbike" it came across. Naturally i never broke the 60 mph national speed limit

Audi was built as a sleeper for road use - The scirocco is without doubt the better of the 2.

Nottm is speed camera hell and where's there's no cameras there's speed bumps or congestion. You bumpkins dont realise how lucky you are.
