On Men and Motors - Streetcar Shootout, just been watching it and seen John on the handling course, in the wet putting in a better perfomance than a lot of the others did in the dry!

yeah but how come he was the only one to stuff it into the cones on the second corner even the 2 wheel drive cars got round it in one piece

Thanks Paul.

it's called testing Wurzel.

I was playing about with tyre presures to make the car more tail happy and went a bit far, screwing up the handling. Had it sussed later on setting the 4th fastest time of the day. Not bad for a stock engined car still with the cat's etc.

It's a shame my engine failed first lap of TOTBII, as it could have been a good result based on the testing days performance where i was 2nd fastest overall, still with a stock engine and exhaust, 0.08s behind Andy Forest's much more powerful RA. I had it decated and remapped in the two weeks between testing and the event proper just to try and get that bit more torque to get to a top placing. The engine failure on lap 1 was pretty gutting at the time.

You can see the one lap i managed from TOTBII (the engine was buggered at the end of it) here

Very smooth John, when was the film taken ?

johnfelstead

Thanks. That was back in Aug 2002.

Gareths Escort Cossie is quite special, probably the most succesful race cossie in the country, and he knows how to drive it!

Must admit I watched it too and when I heard the name I thought 'Scoobynet' Other than that I was watching Simon Norris in his Evo 4 (Being an Evo man)
The Skylines were just awsome though.
