) has been campaigning his Vauxhall Victor on the quarter-mile for many years now, and he's owned it for almost 30. Needless to say, the Victor has seen some changes over the years, starting out as just a fast road car and ending up as the fastest street-legal car in the UK.
The new Red Victor 3 is quite some car, but have you noticed something? It has a registration number, it will have a valid MOT and it will still be able to drive you to Sainsbury's... but it will do 200mph and run a 5 second quarter too. RV3 is still in build, but if the plans work, it will take the record of the fastest street legal car in the world, and PistonHeads will be along for the ride as we are new team partners.
Over the next few months we'll be keeping you updated with build progress as Andy and the team work hard to get the car ready for the 2011 season. Once the car is built we'll be strapping Riggers into the passenger seat with the sole intention of filming him losing his lunch, and we'll have in-depth info on what goes into making a world-beating car.
As soon as Red Victor 3 takes to the strip we'll be running competitions and offers for track entry, giving PHers no excuses not to cheer Andy and the PH logo on to victory (see what we did there?)
More news will follow as the car progresses, but in the meantime we wish Andy and the team the best of luck and we look forward to the coming season.
