Title: V 8 Star Racer
Post by: V 8 Star on 20 February 2009, 14:16:55
Hi Everyone,
Im back on the forum again after some technical difficulties, anyway last year i posted a few mesages wanting to know if any of you petrolheads would seriously want the passenger ride of your life in our Omega V8 Star racecar.
Over the winter we have carried out quite a few mods to the car such as a carbon fibre front splitter and also paddle gear change.
We are now looking at hiring a racetrack (final venue TBC) if we have enough takers.
The car has a 7 Ltr Corvette V8 engine and produces some 645 BHP, if you are geniunely interested in this pant wetting experience please post your interest and we will make it happen.

They usually race in the Britcar series. It's a great series to go and see and features some fantastic cars such as Mosler's, Aston's, Dodge Vipers, Corvettes to name a few. I've been to watch them a few times now and it's a great day out and would certainly be good to have a Meet at one of the races. Alex invited us to their pit garage at Snetterton last year hence the pics, and it's a fantastic machine to see close up in the flesh. :y I don't have a fixture list yet but I'll e-mail Alex and ask him for one and post it up.

Hi Guys,
Although we did the Britcar full series last year we are still unsure how many rounds we will contest this year, if we havent sold the car we will deffo do the Britcar 6hr race at Silverstone,Spa Francorchamps and Snetterton.
These are tracks where the car can really stretch its legs and can reach 180 MPH!
If you check www.britcar24hr.co.uk you can get details on the series and also go into their photo gallery to see loads more photos.
Alex
