Would be amazing to see but surely it's down to the owners and have you thought about the logistics and massive expense involved?

Would make a great grudge match to watch, but the costs involved would be huge,

Get Stian in the TOTB team on handling i reckon though

How would it be fair if it was run at Brunters aswell, as i'm assuming this would be your idea mate?

Have it in a mutual country for it to be totally fair...

Why the fuck would being in whatever country make any difference

Stians car is only geared to 140 odd IIRC.

Both cars are track orientated anyhow so brunters alone wont do either justice.

And then its a lot to do with driver skill too.

Stian should enter the GT Battle series, job done. Just hugely expensive as he lives in Norway...

You answered your own question there Steve, Why should Stian bring his car here or Martin take his car there!?

Would have thought it would do more than 140mph aswell wouldn't it?

just a complete guess here because i know nothing about the car spec but WRC front bumper + WRC rear wing = lot of drag, coupled with a low geared gearbox im guessing its set up like a rallycross car i.e sprinting and drifting

but Martins is also designed for high speed its one of his cars strengths !

but on track the jenspeed car I think would be quickest because of its spec but im sure martins wouldnt be far behind and his car is an all rounder

i dont know anything about mag poletics martin but i recon it would be better than seeing your car nack rods because they are more geared towords the same thing than yours and rods and maybe fast ford would do something with it as we all know this would sell alot more mags than some ones restoration can , you have both sort of done the same thing and been the best at what you have done you have both built cars back up after a big crash and have both came back with the best 2 escort cosworths eneyone has ever seen
