No matter how equal you make it, Mike R will find an excuse in something!! He'll go home and in a huff, get on the met office website and try and say the barometric pressure was not optimal during the time of his run or something..

Cracking idea, I'd be well up for it.

Needs to be stock, not 200hp though as if its a ford it will probably break.

Stock Focus of some sort seems the best option and I doubt anyone is that familiar with a 2l zetec Focus.

But Andrew all those RWD/4WD boys will not like that

fwd are driving the wrong wheels etc etc etc

But i think that is an excellent choice to determine whom is the quickest driver.

who choses who gets in though?

ive the perfect cars sat here for this,1.7 pumas,standard cars,stripped out,bucket seats,harness's,rear weld in roll cages.not 200bhp but not slow either.they have bucket seats on runners so can accomadate most sizes in no time at all.

would happily take two or three to croft.

you need a standard car really so that there is no advantage to someone woh's used to driving big power rwd or 4wd types

and no auto's either

if it's got to be fwd then fair enough as i can't see many hire cars being anythng other than that

and most modern machinery is fwd only

or just get a car that no one has currently got, like some sort of basic spec drum braked mk1 with a 900 cc engine or the like
