For all the evo fans.. I managed to get a quick sneeky shot of Norri's evo whilst I was looking for a mate of mine (who works for Norri)....
It was looking a bit tacky if truth be told but I guess he doesn't really care as he was taking it to Brands Hatch on Sunday!
Anyways only shot I managed..
That is all

it does look hideous but that car is laying down some serious stalions,it must be essential or it wouldn't be there. Tbh your not going to be caring what it looks like when your sitting behind the wheel of this.

Ditto, discussed this yesterday on here I think.
Front bumper, do any of you guys this is now actually a RACE car. Funnily enough, not all race cars are polished up bling Ferrar F1 cars. He's done some grass tracking on it, been through gravel traps, it gets used and used hard, so isn't going to be anywhere near spotless.
As JR said, would be nice if he reduced the power and could actually use what he had though, but its proof that a huge powered engine doesn't mean anything on a racetrack.

dont think its do with what state it is in, I think it is because it is Massive and ugly! like i said though, function before form, it seems to be housing the huge intercooler and the massive front splitter for the downforce it requires

Awesome Awesome machine! Can't understand why it gets so much stick. Always great to watch/ hear it in action.
And personally I think it looks great! Even with that bumper on. lol

If it were covered in rust with 'avoiding the scrappage scheme' on the back as would you

I think it looks better than it did before (with the huge Voltex front bumper/wings)
Havent seen it out recently - but from vids i've seen of it in the past it looked to be very twitchy.
No doubt the power will have been turned down. It did some TimeAttack in 09, but racing for 15laps or so is very different. You need pace for all those laps, not just 1 then cool. Things need to be turned down to survive
