Yes, was a bit surprised by the 'victor' based on lap times. Hard to believe that a few extra bhp and modern setup could make that much difference when 150kgs extra is taken into account. BigSteveT - they mentioned the tyres weren't great on the Raider - were they budget jobbies and unusually skinny as your car looks very standard in the pics?

For those of you who missed it on telly last night & those of you not in the UK i've uploaded it onto YouTube
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=R6P28_BtuTs
Just to clarify a few things, the car was fitted with 4 brand new Uniroyal's in original 195 55 13 fitment days before the shoot so the tyres weren't old or off they're just CRAP tyres and even on the day Jason said to me that it was the tyres that let the car down.
Secondly I fitted Ferrodo DS2500 brake pads prior to that day also so the brakes were feeling at their best.
Finally the boost is set at 15psi so she was going well alright.
I think on another dry day it would have been much much closer.
Anyway it certainly sounded better, did anyone hear the GTT Angry Burble as it went past camera! Loved it!!
Proud as punch Big Steve :D :D :D
