Title: Wessex Motorsport V8 Star Omega
Post by: bob.dent on 09 May 2008, 11:25:13
This is the stunning V8 Star Omega owned by Alex Watson that was racing in the Britcar series at Brands Hatch on Sunday at the A1 GP.
Alex was kind enough to e-mail me a few pics of this incredible machine. Powered by a Corvette LS7 V8 punching out 645BHP!!

That's a bit mad. It is hardly recognisable as an Omega; there is definitely one in there hiding in amongst those wheel arches somewhere.

Thats the whole point.......its a racing car designed for the track, but it's still an Omega, and it rocks! ;) I certainly wouldn't want something like that as a road going car but as a racing car its stunning. :y

Agreed, although I'd love to see an Omega done up Lotus Carlton stylee, that would be a cracker. The wheel arches on the lotus Carlton were gorgeous.
