I like the idea but I dont think they have taken the concept far enough. I can see rear head rests in the back.

It should have the following as an options list.

Delete if not required.

[] rear seats
[] sunroof
[] electric windows
[] electrically heated seats
[] aircon
[] satnav
[] sound proofing
[] carpets
[] poncy things that weigh a lot

Sports options

[] half cage
[] full cage
[] fixed back bucket seats
[] harness
[] fire extinguisher
[] slicks*

* warning only for use on track days

i was also rather dissapointed at the clubsport - I had expected stripped out racer-madness, but it's nothing of the sort. Am I alone in wishing manufacturers would release some true Clubsport machines? There must surely be a demand for harder edged cars, particularly with the increase in trackday popularity....
