I have to admit it was an awesome machine. The noise from the pitlane was insane as it sounded like a Spitfire going up the main straight. Had to giggle that someone would build something so mad.

Kind of like the blue Caterham JPE Turbo sprint/hillclimb car that was also there. Very, very silly.

Edit - Oh and I agree, the Westie's a GT. It's barking and I love it, but I suspect more fun on the road than the track.

I'd bloody love one of those - wish I could hear it running. Don't suppose anyone has got an mp3/wa etc of it?

It sound like an absolutley amazing car, but probably more suited to road work as you say.

Your writing could almost convert me to torque over revs, maybe when I grow up. Still got plenty of Eunuchs to scorche for now.

Want to bet this could beat the R500 time for 0-100-0?

Arrrrrgggggh!

It's unlikely, it's got a lot more weight to stop.
