Why would a 1.1 Saxo even bother?
The point is, theres 1.6 Corsa's and Saxo's out there that will be a match for 2.0 Corsa's.

i will defo go if i can race a 1.1 saxo!!!
would it not be better to just put the best 20 corsa's against the best 20 saxo's regardsless! That way it will be more fun!
and no Bull sh**
no arguing, kind of thing!

Will be the times that count? So it doesn't matter what engined cars are running along side each other

i wasn't really planning on having 10 of each cars only.
for a full day there you will get loads of runs so the more the better.
it would be good to put equal cars up against each other but it the times that count though....plus.......you lot need 2ltrr and 2ltr turbo's to stick with our 1.6's

quickest at the moment is 12.5s i think, and it was breaking (misfiring) at the end of the run, average is probably about 15.4 or thereabouts

infact, it might have gone quicker than that, might have been 12.3 or 12.2
