Strange to see little specials like this that are clearly FWD, but i suppose some weight in front with those sticky tires, and it must be good fun getting the nose into the apex! What engines are they running? Were you in these crazy little things, or a regular car?

Cool shots, I like 4 and 7!

most ppl used the fwd for the space saving and less weight from no tailshaft... there actually is a rwd special that uses a mid mounted renault engine...

most of the engines are 1300cc mini or renault or simliar engines...using automatic gearboxs...

i was in a regualer car... a Toyota AE86
