What bollocks, that comes down to local knowledge of the track, i'm not driving over to germany to go ***** out and stack my pride and joy to prove a point, but if i learnt the track like you have then i'm sure it wouldn't be the case!!

lol I think it might be +1 for the VXR squad but I have a theory.

You know why we cant find any other make with a 2.0 fwd car with over 240hp.

Its because no other manufacturer was dumb enough to make a Wrong wheel drive car with so much power.

We would love it as we are all over 40, only trouble is there is little or nothing worth racing with, nothing can keep up with even a standard VXR.
