    Track day in a '73 RS

    Name: F6491119-3ADC-46BC-AE77-A28187BD576A.jpg Views: 350 Size: 61.7 KBMy first time on track in the RS and it was superb. Many laps completed and consistently hitting 7,200 rpm, thrashing the tits off it all day.
    It didn't miss a beat, drove it 70 miles there and back. Quite remarkable that a 50 year old car can be that much fun and still reliable.

    Nice! I’m only brave enough to take a clone out on the track. No problems keeping up with the modern cars in the twisty bits.
