Seriously condsidering the drive up to Knockhill, Oulton properly got under my skin.... especially considering the fact that (according to the TA website) this is the fourth EAR running TA is there

Anyway, nitpicking aside,if you were to enter a car into club class (to keep it within a more realistic price bracket), what car would you use? The subarus seem to do well. What sort of power would a car like that (essentially a heavy, 4wd, modded road car) need to be remotely competitive (ie not be stone dead last every outing) assuming driver ability isn't an issue.

I know there are a million ways to go about it, but I'm interested in your views, and if anyone has any info/spec on any of the cars (the blue escort cossie was nice) it would be appreciated

Proper car but really really doesnt do well as far as i know. I'd say you'd need 500hp with very good brakes and suspension to not embarrass yourself.
