What a brilliant start to the show and it gets better with the new focus rs loved it seeing the rs turbo beat the astra gte, but does anyone know who the turbo belongs to?

They said "quicker on the day" and they did say it was the hooligans car too....worth seeing the Astra lose just to see tiff Needel getting it sideways on every bend

Nice to see them going up against each other instead of it being Golf V's 205 again and again

And they knew it would kick off on the Internet as well

The exhaust on the S2 can't have been standard, was definitely aftermarket so that might have helped
