I cant believe how good the RST looks on that test track,plus I'm amazed it won!!

Maybe after 15 yrs of RST ownership I should have more faith in the old girl!!Regards,Micky

Standard RST doesnt have a rolled out exhaust, and isnt that low.

Dave the RS Turbo owner said

"car has been lowered don't know if suspension has been uprated car has stainless exhaust pipercross ,magnecor leads other than that i don't know .car was washed after about two weeks after track day .tiff needell said to me on the day of filming that he could get the power down quicker than the gte .the astra had a problem with that it couldn't last more than three laps at a time crew reckoned that there was to much oil in the car"

Don't think Tiff spared it either as he had to have new clutch after
