Can you put some links to these videos? I have found one or two. Seen some reverse racing with varios, and the volvo coming second to an escort...

Well done Mr 300 Motorsport.

That second ones class. Escort sliding the back out and the little fwd (fiesta? talbot?) trying to nudge by the inside.

Quality.

Brilliant videos... not seen them before, can see why the 343 was so successful at this... it seems to go rather well!

The escort and fiesta - they are sibling rivals.. The escort handles better, the fiesta can do ok with it;s crappy handling coz it's lighter..
Escort is the better car, fiestas always feel like theyre goona tip, even the XR2's - scary passenger ride for sure.

1.4, modded to 1770 with a turbo strapped to the side.

No idea how they setup there's, but stock 300's handle amazingly well on loose, just don't stiffen them up stupid amounts or they turn into understeer monsters. Slipper would be pretty useful too, the lack of adhesion means tight stuff is a real issue. Long sweepers are sooooo gorgeous though ;)

EDIT: Looking at those pics they all seem to wallow almost as much as Fake, I thought as much. I imagine they run a lot more damping than I do atm though :lol:
