hi guys just wondering if anyone on here has any info on the absolutely rapid talbot sunbeam that was on track at rsoc national day yesterday?

would be great to find out more about it

 

This norris brothers one?

 

yes im pretty sure it had norris written on it

 

Yeah bloody quick one I'd imagine 500-600 bhp easy, whoop woop!!

 

any idea what engine etc is in it?

 

Norris Motorsport built it. Karl has developed the engine into a monster lol. Think it's designed for sprints though?

 

was on lowest boost setting as well due to noise , lovely car though

 

it certainly shifts thats for sure, what engine is in there guys?

 

Cossie yb

 

i had a feeling it was a yb

 

we had a lotus sunbeam years ago!

 

a fella round by me has a lotus sunbeam, im lead to believe it has a rally spec engine in there as well

 

Get yourself to TOTB this coming weekend. No doubt it will be there running full boost getting driven very sideways around the handling course

 

It is indeed the NMS Sunbeam driven by Karls brother Paul.

I am not sure on the current spec but above 600bhp would be about right for starters.... and Paul can drive it.

Was very well placed last year at TOTB

Type Cosworth Sunbeam into Google and hit images and you'll see plenty of pics.

Mental car...

Set up for Sprinting

 

cool shings, me and my bro was saying it must be around the 500-600bhp mark as you could just see and hear the power of it.

i wouldnt mind a passenger ride in it thats for sure, and yes he certainly did know how to tame the beast

 

Hello,

Yes it's our Sunbeam (norris motorsport), its a rather long spec list so Ill just give you an engine bay shot rather than type it all out. Engine is one of our short stoke high revvers (up to 10,000rpm).

We were running around 500bhp on Sunday, (low boost) though it can run up to 750bhp at maximum boost. If you are coming to TOTB on Sunday you can get to see it run at full power. (except on the handling course where we run at minimum power! LOL)

 

hi karl many thanks for taking the time to post the reply/pic up

as said this has to be my fav car iv seen all year, and what an animal it was even at 500bhp it wasnt hanging around.

would love attend totb but im at blyton park this wkend, good luck with the competition

 

Dam!! That looks clean, any videos?

 

I'll try and get a few vids on sunday and put them on youtube.

Here's a pic from prescott, we normally compete in hill cimbs and speed events.

 

Karl what box is used on this?

 

I see it's now in Bling Bling spec Karl - unlike Paul to go for bling over function... haha

 

I do love this sunbeam!

 

Stunning car

Whatever happened to Daz & the Dolomite?

 

My mate didn't want to go in group b on track at national day because of this,He had a shock when it ended up in group a with him pmsl.

 

Will Daz is building another lighter car. He has posted a few times showing of his new home built carbon panels

 

Mines comming along slowly lol

 

Saw this car at teeside last year too , the build quality on it is a work of art

All tho am not a fan of the big splitter and spoiler that were on it on Sunday but suppose theyll be there for a reason
