Wow!

Dig those sidepipes too.

I'd just love to pull up next to the chavs in the McD's
car park in it.

Oh my god it LIVES !!!

I saw this car about a month or so in RT Racings workshop. It looked the dogs bits then and it was far from completed. A very impressive machine, that I will be following with interest this season.

Good luck and god bless all those who race in her !!!

Got to say - If I saw that Tasmanian Devil in my rear view mirror I would let him pass

Doh !

It's just registered.

Is that RT's new monster car ?

I saw the chassis being built when I had my car down at RT in January.

It would be interesting to see what is on the back of the vehicle, after all that is what the other competitors will see.........

almost makes SteveH's Purple monster look 'under-stated' and mine positively dull!

No. It is a pretty evil looking Tuscan Racer with a wedge body grafted on it though....

I think chances are its the side of the car we'll see most, as it powerslides its way around the track...

apparently it has an engine in common with the 660 seac a donovan lump, so Stainless i think you had better order some clutches

IMHO that's maybe a bit mean. RT does a lot of work to produce very fast cars. Not only does it have a wedge body but the engine type and eligibility is courtesy of the wedge...660 seems to ring a bell.

It's a WEDGE !

Tuscans owe their existence to their Wedge ancestors anyway.

It's exciting, different, and fun !

That's how motor racing should be, otherwise no punters.

I can't wait to see it race.
