On pole position is a Porsche Carrera followed by Jaguar XJSs, Triumph TR7 (V8), Porsche 944s, Toyota Supra, Toyota MR2, BMW 1600Ti, Rover Tomcat, and Jaguar XJ6. And let’s not forget the RS500 Ford Sierra Cosworth. We are only ahead of the BMW and XJ6. In our class are the Toyota MR2, Cosworth and the BMW being all under 2000cc engine size. We have been bumped up from the 1600cc class due to lack of entries. So basically we are on a hiding to nothing here. But we weigh peanuts compared to most of these cars. The heaviest driver/car combination is 1000kg more than what we weigh. We are 955 kg with driver and we need to milk this for all it is worth. The top XJS is running 1350 kg (without driver) but has 450 bhp on tap. And to make matters worse we are on hard (but cheap) control tyres from the MAX5 series with all other runners on far stickier rubber (something again we are learning about quickly).
