Knockhill Motorfair 2004 - VX220 Turbo

[Matra et Alpine]

Still a few to go.

Are folks reading/enjoying these - it does seem awfully lonely and I'm not sure if nobody's bothering or my pics are crap ( in general, I've had a couple of responses ) ?

There proably another 3 or 4 posts worth to go, but it takes me a while to massage the pics to put on UCP. Just not sure of the interest.

ANYWAY, here's the VX220 Turbo.

it was giving the Elise/Exiges a run for their money - driven by a professional racer, he was really pushing it.
Seemingly he was asked to slow down as he was going too fast. The word in the paddock was that he was embarrasing the Scuderia Ecosse team with his faster lap times :)

yep, not as well sorted as the Elise but the stock option for the Turbo has certainly made it serious competition. Same concept - light responsive chassis and focussed on performance ( just not as extreme as Lotus :) )
