It's a horsepower race!!!!

[Mick K]

To be fair and I dont mean this in a bad way,This weekend is the first weekend Ive seen that car actually have grip!
Ennis and Fermoy is had zero pace,For some reason it could actually shift and pull a gap instead of banging and spinning wheels!
Absolute talented angry agressive little fuck of a driver! Would hate to have the be the following car or to have him on my ass in a twin battle!

i was only saying that earlier, being stuck in smoke from duanes car or something with that smokeyness must be seriously scary shit on a track as unforgiving as punchestown when ya cant see a thing!

[Prodrifter86]

for sure. Duane can drive. for a 15/16 year old to drive a car like his does. u kinda have to a head on ya to do it even without bhp. God bless the instructor when he does his driving test in a year or 2. lol! haha

he is a serious driver in all fairness to him!! and that car is unreal!! it was actually scary when he was following me in our twin battle!! but he was stuck to me like shit on a blanket when he was following!! takes a lot of skill to do that!! and the grip in it is unreal!! when i was following he sunk the shoe and he pulled 3 car lengths on me straight away!! ha

thanks petey, i think i gave off the way wrong impression here!

first off, i have absolutely nothing against the chap, he is a very talented driver well able to stick it to the older lads, and i did genuinly feel gutted for him when he crashed out, it was unfortunate.

however, in terms of "chequebook motorsport" being used, i mean to get an rb26 to 800bhp still costs big big bucks, well out of the range of most drivers and i think it kind of takes away from the fun a little bit imo. For example, an 800bhp car against a 200bhp car is never going to be fair unless on a tight technical track, and at that part your nearly gone past i think pitching the quality of drivers against each other, but at that stage about what the car is capable of.

(at this point i would like to point out i am not a driver, and its not from a drivers point of view, just from a spectators point of view and it was something i overheard a few times over the course of the weekend)

I completely understand what gem etc said about it being hard to drive a car of that power on a slow track, power bands etc, and as i said very good pilot, dont take any of this as being personal!

Apologies again for seeming like a cunt

y do you say that look at the semi pro final paul mc in his 300bhp bmw was al over duane in his 800bhp 180sx, bhp means noting all bout the driver and how the car is set up, duane is a savage driver for his age if he wasnt he woudnt be able to drive that car like he does and follow the lead car like he do.

[tomsheen]

i agree with hoopsbhoy and stonie.. iv been watching dwaine since he started
and seen him in jdm and never mind his age he's well able to drive full stop..

but on the topic of your wallet winning for ya to some extent its true but are'nt
pro's in all motorsports the fellas with the most talent and biggest financial backing

im not saying the most expensive cars will win but at that level money does come
into it as everyone knows
