Hard to get a feel for speed on that video tbh mate...some places are around the 100mph mark, with the intercom off i cant hear the co-driver at all lol
No this car is setup solely for tarmac (sealed surface) rallying and thats where it will stay, my plans are in the few years to either rebuild engine etc and respray this car or buy an ex works S1600 possibly a puma as there very cheap compared to C2's/saxos.....
Its very quick on tarmac so thats where its staying!!  |
Fair play, I understand that speed isn't really demonstrated well by on board cameras, it never is. You feel as though your ploughing through the corners soooo fast but on the on board it doesn't look fast at all. That can be said for all types of driving though lol.
Pahhh, you know forest rallying is where it really lies at
. Nah, as long as your happy and get the fun factor from it thats all that counts and im sure you bloody are lol! How often does the engine need building roughly? As the cars I have been in, in the past and sometimes help in the service areas need rebuilds after every competitive year. The bills usually come in at around 22k too..eeek...but were talking about WR1 spec focus's here lol.
Looks a very tidy car though, rough round the edges but that's how rally cars are meant to look. As you say, its quick....seems to perform really well for a 1.6 to say the least!!
