So long as it does not get in the way of the Alfa's it's fine.
Still I'm glad it's there to make up the numbers. Perhaps John B&Q can fit a 'rear cam' to get the car in 'action' Simon |

had TOCA allowed testing inprivate before hand then I feel that they could have been ready for Brands. However it is nice to know that finally at least one car will be ready for Thruxton as I really like the IS200 and it could be very competitive.

TOCA did allow private testing. The original 31st March deadline was extended to 13th April, with brands taking place on 15/16th.
Good to see the team out at last. |

The Lexus looks like a great car which I'm sure will do well. The best of luck goes out to Kurt Luby and the rest of the ABG team.

nice car but it really needs a rear spoiler! The front is so low as the rear end is very high! Just take a look at a road version to see what I mean!

Kurt Luby has been singing the Lexus' praises throughout Bank Holiday practice and qualifying. I certainly think as the season goes on, we'll see trhe ABG IS200's moving nearer the sharp end. Luby and Erdos are both class acts, RWD, and the Lexus' will soon be up there with the Pug's (as will JSM, hopefully!). Then, all three should be challenging the Astras by mid-season, with a bit of good fortune and set ups.

Btw, another BTCT car that looks absolutely stunning! (That's 5 out of 5). WOW! I can't decide which is my favourite!
