Smile Old skool track car

A friend of mine ran this at Snetterton over the weekend in the "Powered by Jaguar" Open class.

4 litre lightweight beasty.

He finished 1st in one race & lead for most of the second race until the tyres started to lose temperature as the track cooled as it was late afternoon.Then despite a spin in the closing stages he still finished in 2nd place.

Look Awesome!

Is that the XJR engine? One of my golf pals runs one, that puts out over 400 BHP, and makes no noise

Now why is it we mess about with complicated japanese stuff, when pure fun can be so simple?

Thats what I like about my kit car - old school tuning, forget ECU maps, sensors, injectors etc, a nice pair of shiny carbs, distributer with optical electronic ignition to do away with the old points for nice simple pure fun
