Title: Weight saving?
Post by: BazaJT on 24 December 2018, 19:33:36
Watched some of the Siverstone Classic races on TV this morning.One saloon car race had 2.6 Capris,MkI and II Escorts,SD1s a Camaro and others including a XJ12C.On board footage from the XJ showed the full wooden dash seemingly complete with all its dials and gauges to still be fitted,so hardly a stripped out racer ::) Surprised they didn't leave the leather seats in there so the driver could stay comfortable while racing ;D

As did all the other cars mentioned.... XJCs were particularly bad.
