I found this video:

These 2 red 75s are amazing. But the N/A car handles superbly, I saw it consistenly outbraking and out cornering some 4-cyl GTV, I think it's a 2100lbs car!

So Mats, who won?

1. #66 Hans Bjurman (this car is being discussed in Greg Gordons thread in the performance section I believe) Supercharged 75 3.0, look carefully and notice that the rear arches are pulled out about 50mm each side...
2. #9 Niclas Rosengren, 75 3.0. Lots of engine prep and a very well prepped car.
3. #72 Jens Roos, GTV Turbo. Actually a 155 TS engine with "some" nice mods. Full spec in this thread on a Swedish forum (loads of pics though) http://rejsa.nu/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12618

Now, if you click the link in the first post in this thread you will also find pics from the Norwegian Corsa Italiana series who had their first two races during the same day as us. Great stuff as there are cars ranging from a 600 Abarth to Ferrari 348...

All of these pictures are available in huge sizes, I'll post larges sizes on request (when I find the time) :)

This is the definition of racing for fun,everybody having a real good time and helping each other in the pits, getting greasy up to the armpits if that's what's needed to get a competitor out on the track. For the second race. :D

:shock: nice car...

Guy is quite the gearbox-killer isn't he? :? The text is kinda hard to understand but the pictures show me a lot of broken gears and stuff.

But a very interesting build. :D
Drive it like you stole it...

What an interesting thread . He is a real artist . Gearboxes will always be the week point though .
This is when you can say pics mean a thousand words .
