They're always turning RX-8's into scrap in that formula, I've seen photo's like that before.

Prangs like that are part and parcel of a single make series, I suppose. Does anyone know if footage of these races is available for download or purchase? The close racing would be exciting to watch.

First thing I noticed was they have stock exhausts and # 13 looks like its on standard ride height so I would assume stock springs...Dont know about anyone else, but with all the sponsorship they have, I would have expected a lot more. Or am I looking to deep?

i think they just put in safety equipments (roll cage, racing seats, 5 point harness), upgrade the brake fluids and pads, and probably better tires, and call it a day

in a spec class, as long as all the cars are equally set up, i see no problem running the 8's in showroom stock form, may even be fun actually

I just checked the Formula Woman website....seems like they race Caterham K Series vehicles now, the RX-8's were used in the 2004 championship.


Caterham K Series

So look out for any "2nd-hand right-hook silver RX-8's only driving on Sundays by an old (cough) lady" being flooded onto the market.

Cheers,
