Icing on the cake !
Well this weekend topped off a massive year for us, becoming the first 8’s FWD car in the UK. It’s taken a lot of effort, development, late nights, long weekends, sweat, blood and tears to do it but finally became the first FWD to get in to the 8’s.

Saw this on facebook, that's amazing that you achieved this, and in an FTO!

Faaaaark, @ 264.33 km/h it was nearly as fast as my FTO
...and who said that the body shape of a FTO couldn't reach those speeds

What did you do different for the 60ft time?
I remember before you were saying your 60ft times were slower than your competitions

Fair enough, though I doubt there will be another FTO to compete against
