FTAO forum members looking to spend around £820k on a track toy

That’s a long title…

Given how much mainstream manufacturers charge for some of the small volume track only stuff (eg that Aston Vulcan, 2.2m) that seems an absolute bargain by comparison

[DeskJockey]

I would, but I've just sold my private race track. Couldn't possibly share with the unwashed. What a shame.

[IanF]

Yes, for the fastest hill climb car out there, that seems like a bargain!

Performance /£ ratio looks very good, however I doubt I could come close to using a fraction of its full potential.

Be worth it just to scare yourself shitless in a straight line like catchpole did

[scotta]

That catchpole video was something else testing this.

So instead of buying a £2m megacar, you could buy this and have change to buy a track? How much was that kart track business on the South coast?

To save the searching;

Imagine turning up to your local sprint in this, complete with g suit

It's good to have plans though - in case your numbers come up.... save you wasting time

I have a mental image of this thing scything through the Craner Curves at around 160mph like reality has been set to fast-forward.....

Someone might take it to a day you're going on and you could get a passenger ri...oh.

Lookin' better than ever

[V8Granite]

As ludicrous as that is, with the silliest acceleration videos outside of a proper drag car, after a week it would just gather dust.

It’s like a university study of what’s achievable with 4 wheels but a Street eliminator car does it in a much more exciting way.

Dave!

[jamcg]

I could see these ending up with a ban on track days, I can imagine incidents where someone will be following one, loose focus on everything but the car in front and completely miss their braking point off a high speed straight- because that car doesn’t actually have a braking point

I also wonder what would happen if you put half a wheel in the gravel or on the grass, would it suddenly loose downforce and spit you out?
