IF Martin or Sean EVER finish their cars I think you would be VERY surprised at how competitive a 'shonky old cossie' would be. BUT getting them there will be an even harder task!
Also though the fact you to say 'you aren't going to win anymore' shows YOU don't even remotely understand the event or how Ronnie has won or what a fast cossie is really capable of
thats exactly the point i made on the other thread, ronnies car has never been the fastest there, on top speed, drag or handling, its just the best allrounder, driven by someone who knows how to drive.
and as i said on the other thread, ronnie told me he was probably retiring the car from events anyway, as after 3 consecutive wins he had nothing more to prove
he's going to drive a drag skyline from what i understand, but the door is open to a good allround car/driver who can score points on all 3 events, cos thats how its won!
ron is the only person to score points on each of the 3 disciplines, at each event. he won last time with a 2nd in the 1/4m, 2nd top speed and 4th /5th handling!
