The ex-BTCC Mondeo was slower than that if I remember correctly. Something like 152. When I walked through the paddock, I heard the guy complaining about the handling of his car. Something like "it's pulling me into the corner too much on throttle, would be a lot easier with PAS". Well I certainly wouldn't mind having 300 bhp, a trick diff and racing slicks on my RS Turbo.

The DTM-Omega was doing over 170, as were the two Kadetts.

The Fezza looked and sounded gorgeous, however the team didn't really fit there... A bit too posh if you ask me.

And yeah, that Porsche was a monster. However the best sounding car must have been one of those Delta Integrales or even the Scooby of Jelinek, I'm a turbo addict, you know!

But with ALS chances are good it'll be your Cossie next year.

Maybe I should try to arrange a fan club with air horns so we can deafen all the other spectators every time you come by!
