That sounds great. If you shut your eyes you can smell petrol.

Banned by the MSA, now on the continent IIRC.

[interloper]

The MSA's new rally regs on engine size/number of valves per cylinder scupper the GT3 and Aston. Your allowed up to 3 ltrs with four valves per cylinder, over three and you are restricted to two valves.

There was one rallying yesterday at Southdowns stages at Goodwood

[rhinochopig]

Much as I like Porsches. This is far more exciting as a rally car. Ok the driver helps.
