something different I suppose, but would they be allowed to race, if the car turned over how would the occupants get out?? judging by the pictures, it has undergone a proper race prep, it'll be interesting to find out how it does??

Apart from the silly position the oil cooler was in, is there any advantage to fitting an oil cooler to a D? 8-)
