Great. I spotted a couple there in colours which I have as models. Doesn't the Capri just look fantastic as a race car. Even with just a number on it, really suits it.

Yes, have to agree, enjoyed watching it.

It does. Got to be honest, all 3 look fantastic with their racing arches. It would be such a privilege to have the funds to own & race one of these today. Why does my wallet never match my dreams :(

No problem awsome isn't it, Great noise. I had to look twice as I thought Capris didn't handle??? They must have had bags of cement :deadhorse: Have a look at this for a nice handling Capri. https://youtu.be/Q9Ams3QdKTM

It says at the end ‘respect to this man’, I agree that was fantastic to watch. Respect to the way the car was set up too, it looked amazing.
Cheers for the link.
