they where told by the suerbikes that if they did not upgrade there garages ect they could lose holding the series next year,

and as this is one of there biggest earners they had no choice.

saw a new car that has been developed for corporate days at Donno next year. Its made to look like an old F1 historic racer but is obviously made of modern bits. Had a sneaky peak under the bonnet and it had a N/A cossie engine looked like a Millington Alloy block and some other spunky bits

340bhp and it weighs FOOK all . Should be great fun to drive. It had a T5 gearbox with the lever mounted BETWEEN your legs!!!! can anyone post camera pics? I'll MMS them the piccys
