Evo magazine Track Day Cars

[smeagol]

Bought Evo magazine today with a track car comparison and CD of movies of cars on track. Very entertaining read/watch also they have the Westfield xtr2 on track so nice to hear and see that car in action.

Forget that smeagol and check out the Tuscan R article and the Editor's comment at the start of the mag!!

[mattjbatch]

Have you seen the Tamora under heavy braking though That fat arse really gets lifted quite high!

[broccoli]

If you think that CD is any good (I dont btw)order the Jan issue - its a 1000 times better.

[smeagol]

The Tuscan R article is good, but £75k for the car is a lot. (worth it if you have the money though ). The reason I bought the mag was that I'm interested in what to build in the future (far future at the moment) and I do like the idea of having a bike engined road legal race car. By the time I get the money though I should imagine there will be other things to look at as well.

Brocolli checked the back issues and Jan 02 didn't have a Cd do you mean Feb 02 showing Impreeza v civic type R v Elise etc.?

[broccoli]

Sorry yes - Feb 02 issue it came in Jan - its the ECOTY awards on the CD (see Jan 02 for the cars)
You havent got it by the sounds anyway - buy it you wont be disappointed.

I just love the Tuscan-ER made for the Queen (in tailslide - back page)...

[smeagol]

Thanks broccoli, bought it will come in the post soon (i hope). The picture of the queen in the Tiv made me giggle esp. the Paul Williams age 36 3/4 bit. The Radical rivals bit underneith is funny as well "I don't suppose you know of a combined sidelight and indicator unit that would fit onto the fuselage of a MiG 29"

Isn't tailslide done by the guy who does www.sniffpetrol.com - looks like his style.

I'd guess so, since Carcoat Damphands gets a mention...

Is that the issue where they test the Elise on track and it gets beaten by "Vectras, hot hatches, etc." Smeagol?

[Mad Dave]

Yup, same bloke as Sniffpetrol.

He posts on the EVO forum under the name of Aquadrome..

No its the issue in which to compete they have an Elise 190 (with ap brakes, dynamic dampers etc.) and a Exige 260TT, nuff said I think. The Elise 190 btw did very well but cost £33.5k, the Civic was standard at £16k. I very much suspect that if they'd put an ordinary Elise in, it wouldn't have got the same comments.
