Without hijacking this thread too much, do you guys think a twin-engined car could be handle well enough for TOTB?

i reckon if you set it up properly, there shouldn't be a problem with handling...

we had a twin engined mini (vauxhall x2!) last year (or yr before) and i think its coming back this year. ran 11s as it wasnt set up 100%, and wasnt pulling in a straightline, but should be quicker now. not sure how good on handling tho.

we also had the original twin engine vw golf a few yrs back which did ok there.
