The 7.0 curse ! 😂 That is so close to a 6 second it’s not even funny! Amazing car well done mate 💪🏻🏁

[@abbeyhall4624]

What a great car. Loved the improved times, reaction times and the top end charge. Must have been some bloody good tuning happening in the pit! 11 out of 10 for performance, woohoo

[@gafrers]

Looks so clean. So consistent

[@richardsowter8914]

Massively consistent! Awesome

[@paulpobsanderson6219]

Not bad for a 1300 crossflow 😂😂

[@markwood6700]

That car is mind blowing.

[@TheNismo777]

7.0 from a 4 cyl.. yup!

Thanks for the video, it was great to be able to follow the team's progression over the event; at least their positives. The first run captured you could see that as the launch control was disengaged way too much engine output was being commanded. They brought that back some for the next run, and as we all could see the passes were very consistent. However, they're missing a lot in the short track, they're giving up a lot in the 60 foot and in the 330 foot. From the 660 you could see they were throwing all of what the track would take. If the team could meter the engine output better (on that knife edge between tire shake and ideal forward motion) from the launch to the 660 then the 6 second pass is right there. When the power unit has as low cylinder count coupled with a relatively small displacement, it's not so easy to be able to hit specific cylinder pressures consistently across all cylinders on command and meter an increase that's very finite in a consistent manner. Thanks again for the coverage, I wish the team all the best with their continued progress.

So close to the sixes, what a insane car.

[@ianbrown9082]

Shame about the head wind...would've been a six

[@davidkenyon927]

Sooo close, I love that car 😂

[@AndyphotographyHD]

Awesome car 💪🏻getting same times could be in 6’s next

[@mk1kieran]

They’ve run a 6.95 at their home track in Malta 😎

[@joeedwards627]

[@Art.meca-29]

[@lol911000]

What is the power

[@mk1kieran]

Probably in the region of 1200hp

[@simtalkayak]

How much of that is an actual escort?

[@richardsowter8914]

Enough to make it entertaining! Cannot argue with how rapid it is

[@Couchtripper]

Yawn.

[@mk1kieran]

It’s still a floorpan car retaining the original chassis rails and the shell is steel apart from panels.

[@simtalkayak]

Aahh, so it's not a fire wall attached to a space frame!! That pretty cool! So **theoretically** it can be road legal​. @@mk1kieran

[@robertlloyd7493]

😊

[@walasek18]

2.0 cosworth engine ?

[@mk1kieran]

It is yes
