Where was my invite
I would have pissed them all in my BMW C5 scooter
Definately the ultimate track machine

ooh, they didn't mention that - I've seen SBDs 'racer' version with 250bhp (otherwise mostly identical though) in action and that would've made the R500 look slow.

and yes I can't imagine anything without a proper roof winning an 'all round' test.

good article though, congrats on winning - I did have a sneaking feeling before I even read it that the Exige would win.

nice car btw, that's the one I'd have should someone offer me all the keys

Cars that didn't make it to the end:

Lancia Integrale (hose problems)
Reyland Cossie (gearbox)
Westie (head gasket) -- or it may have been the R500
Porsche (owner went home in a sulk)
Quaife Elise (gearbox/clutch went south)

which is surprising, cos I had money on mine going phut.

david, true the box in my escort box broke,truth is though i have NEVER broke a gearbox in this car whilst taking part in a track day or sprint, the only differance on this occasion was that i wasnt driving it! hmmm makes you think doesnt it!

Checkout this months CCC magazine for the Ultimate Track Car shootout featuring none other than Pete Croney in his demo car.

I think it was voted the most fun all-weather car.

Good lad !
