Racing Vixen - HSCC 70's
Discussion
With too much time over Christmas I stumbled across the Youtube TomkiVixen site with great video's of David Tomkinson racing his orange Vixen in the HSCC 70's Roadsports series. If you have some time, it's a great watch particularly to see a a Vixen being driven so competitively in such a championship against TVR M's, Lotus's, Marcos, E-types, Sevens and much more.
What surprised me most was how well his Vixen brakes and handles. On the straights he lacks power compared to the lighter, twin cam Lotus's and the bigger engined cars but though the corners he is all over them. This makes for exciting racing with great overtaking.
A couple of years ago I posted a question on PH about Vixen versus Elan handling. Many suggested the Vixen was crap compared to the Elan, one person even suggested the Vixen handled like a tractor compared to the Elan. Well these videos paint a very different picture.
Enjoy
