Cheers Mark, I may well tag along to one of your events, it'd be perfect for it.

Yes, you're right as ever. The S14 was designed to be tuned way beyond the road car outputs but it's not magic AND it's from the 80s. I'm expecting a minimum of an expensive rebuild every year.

My sister-in-law's is fairing very well so far with the same output but I'm probably going to be a lot harder on mine than she is on hers at the moment.

Can't be any worse than a tuned K-Series, right? I bet it is

If you're not racing next year, fancy doing the 2CV 24 again? I'm thinking of taking a sabbatical year to spend a bit of time with my daughter but I doubt I could go a whole year without something. I'll bet Dave would be up for it too......

Very nice indeed.

Looking forward to seeing it out next year.

(Our 2CV finished 18th in class this year, and the boys won the spirit of the race award. They managed the entire race on one engine too. I suspect that after the Spa 24hr in October we'll be buying that car).

Yes! I'm expecting a very patchy race season next year so that would be ideal.

Nice one Rich, will be be for hire?
