went to high edge raceway today to see the might brisca formula 1`s.
it was there world semi final meeting.
these are spaceframe 600+bhp monsters
current world champion andy smith

his little brother stuart smith

and mister brisca himself frankie wainman junior.


he builds about 85% of the current top running cars in f1,this is my fav picture ,painted in pearl paint


it was also the national hot rod british championship,and this was racing
,was a bit shabby though but did run all steel mass race engine

f1s are awsome when they are at knockhill who won ?

 

are they really 600bhp tbh didnt think they were that powerfull when i seen them.
but dont think they really get opened up when they come up here as track not really big enough and the f2's are quicker round the oval

 

not sure about 600 but some of the top guys are running over 500bhp

 

what engines are in them then?
really didnt think it was that type of power at all
will deffo go back next time there up now for a decent look

 

Nearly went today myself Dave

More into the bangers as they had a figure of 8 final today - they can be nutters at times lol

We do some work on some of the hot fords

 

they are small block v8s am sure

 

bangers figure of 8 was crap

and yes they really are that powerful,on tar they mostly use small block chevy`s.they reckon over 700bhp is overkill
last year there was a f1 built for shale that was dyno`d at 915bhp.
ran an 11 litre big block chevy
they have 2 gears,fast and what the fook

andy smith won the skottish championship this year mate

But Rob Speak will always be the Daddy

 

banhambuilt
This at Buxton mate?

I have not been in years, hows Frankie getting on this year?

 

nash,
yes mate at buxton,fwj second in the national points i think and won his semi today to get front row outside for world final at kings lynn.

rob speak is a legend,8 times f2 world champ and 1 f1 world champ,now races bangers

we are off to venray in holland in a few weeks to watch the f1 gold cup
can`t wait

yous not think stock cars has also got a bit carried away with the £££?
it used to be excactly what it was called "stock car" or stock engines etc and mostly came down to good driving and a well set up car,now its who can buy the most powerfull engine etc ?
thats the reason i prefer the pro stocks and bangers tbh
