Not likely as i said it was in the pits at Oulton Park, my guess is a GTI but it has been tuned cos i overheard a guy talking about how much he'd spunked on it and he said over 6k  :shocked:

It's as Joe says.

It's a superb car to drive and is fully loaded with goodies. VWRacing and RacingLine are the same organisation.

I call her The Red Temptress because if you drive her you'll definitely want one of her goodies.

She'll be your financial ruin - She's a supermodel and she'll help you spend all your money.

Your G'friend/wifey/partner will get extremely jealous.

Yes, I guessed from your sig that you had had an Evo in your life :afro:. I'm loving the Evo X and want a test drive in a SST?(like DSG) version. I won't buy one though!

If you are serious about something from VWR/RL, give Mark a call 01908 210088 - He's a genuine petrolhead and extremely helpful as many others like Mat will attest to. But be aware that their absolute priority is to their racing schedules, so be flexible. They'll give you 100% when it's your turn!

....Don't forget that the car is a test-bed as well as demo. Both alloys and brakes are being tested.


Yep i'm after them too they look  :cool:


....They'll probably be available from VWR/RL in due course. Still being tested for durability etc I expect. VWR/RL don't like to offer anything which they can't stand behind and fully support.
