I took 1st place in the 1980's - 1990's section at Donington. Although I didn't even clean it that day as it p....d down!!!!!!
I bought the car new in 1989 and try to keep it looking that way, mind you I nearly bought a new 21 Turbo but went for the Alp.
P.S. Was yours the black 21 Turbo, that looked b....y smart!!

It was good to put some faces to the names at Donington. I had a damp but fantastic weekend. Many thanks to Stephen for all his hard work

Road spider I've had 145mph, race spider is geared for 170 in 6th but you only use 5 gears on most circuits the most we've had out of it is 135 on the main straight at Spa Francorchamps as you come out of Eau Rouge.

here's another couple of vids,

When we go to Croix at the weekend with our blue race car, (the blue and silver one which was at Donington) I will fix the camera onto the car with a bracket so we should get some good footage I hope and we'll use the logger an compare some lap times if all goes well! and the car holds up :twisted:

Just track days at the moment,
once me and my business partner have pursuaded enough sponsors to part with their money we'll race the spider and we also have a 600bhp Mazda RX7 Drag car under development, which is predicted to do low 8 sec 1/4 miles once it's finished. we're in the process of setting up a motorsport business for the purpose to support the 2 cars and others for customers. We currently support one customer Mazda RX7 which holds the national 1/4 mile record for an unmodified Car. :lol:
