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

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

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

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.😊
