afaik a lot of campaigning was done to allow it to compete amongst the others, I think the space framed beetle was the last straw which forced ta to allow the focus to be entered as a competitor and not in the prototype/specialist section. FAR over due in my opinion. Its going to be a great weekend weather permitting

Is Andy or Charlie driving this weekend, will be good to see how it goes against all the other big power stuff.
Is the gob stopper 2 going to be used this weekend ?

andy, gs2 is on the garage list but everything is very quiet about it
the focus never fails to amuse when on full chat scaring the crap out what ever is in its way
need to get a good crowd down brands supporting the blue oval lads

Would love to see how it does against the Gobstopper 2. Or rather how the Gobstopper does against the Focus!
Might try and pop down to Brands on Sunday - how much is it to get in does anyone know?

We said "Said to be 1000bhp" as we don't know the actual figure

they're at the wind up
no 1 has ever quoted what power it is
but theres been a hint or 2 to suggest its 1000bhp
the old 1 was over 800
now its got alloy block, big port head and a turbo that you could prob fit a t4 inside the inlet
if it aint 1000bhp then it must be chapping the door of it

I'm going on Sunday. My mates racing his Subaru legacy (650-700bhp)
If the focus and gs2 both go it will be a great day!

Will be epic to see the focus in action, gotta say though the gobbstopper 2 looks serious! Was looking at it on speedhunters, serious amount of work gone into it, should be one hell of a battle.

Just heard the Gobstopper 2 is still on shakedowns, so if it does go Sunday it more than likely won't be at full chat.

Will be good to see them up against each other. The focus was quicker before at a round of time attack a few years back with the 680hp engine against the gobstopper 1 I'm sure. Fingers crossed its quicker this time too.😊
