Rotary engines, they've got no torque, they're rubbish.

You find me somewhere to put the camshafts, I'll fit the vtec.

In other news, uprated cooling system and new filter system fitted over the winter to cope with 500bhp, datalogging looks good so new engine parts will be filtering in all year...

Sweet vehicle, but either the pack has not started moving yet, or that track worker is standing in the middle of the track while 6 cars blast past him !

It's a car control track - polished tarmac so it's slippery to simulate loose gravel - first place we took it when it had the Renny bolted in for a bit of clean testing. Mind, probably faster than most with it having the steering brakes.
