I wondered what had happened to this thing then popped along to Brands today to see my dads friend racing in Historic touring cars to see it competing in something called Ajec AWD Academy - seems like basically time attack but actually racing. (Something AK should consider!) Anyway I caught the first race and the Norris evo was massively quicker than everything else but he spun on the like the 3rd lap and lost about 6 places and spent the rest of the time making the places up to come 3rd. Impressive car but money cant buy you talent...
Basically looks like this...

It looks like that for a reason remember, everything on the car is doing a job of keeping it planted to the tarmac.

The car just looks like a handful and the rear diffuser is monstrous, it looks purposeful but I cant help question what good it actually does.

Watched this at coombe in the aaa saloon championship, its also shown on motors tv.
Stupidly fast but last time i went it got beaten by a 600 bhp ecos although it was still in development. Think its 900 bhp+

Worst track car ever  Anyone watched it, ruddy awful looking car to drive.
Whey to much power for track, hence why people with less power beat him as everytime he puts the power down the wheels just spin up and the other cars dissapear. once he's got traction he pulls them back, but he's already lost out.
Would far rather some of the other cars in the AAA championship.
He's on motors TV regulary. jsut looking for AAA Saloon car championship.
Mental car though, few years old now too. Still gets used properly though

Is this the one that was chopped in half and a few inches taken out the middle to shorten the wheelbase?
