Amazing performance, I always regarded the Imps as the underdog against the Minis but to see one holding his own against Locors and Beemers is great to see!

Aaah takes me back to the 70's "Special Saloons" mainly Mini's and a few Imps , guy in an Imp called John Homewood and another guy, think it was Bevan also in an Imp normally won but my brother had a chance to beat them in his Mini if it was wet , happy days ! great driving btw really enjoyed the video thanks :o)

Great video, love your 100% driving style, must be an amazing car to drive and that engine, looked to be reaching to 9000rpm at times. Good to see such varied cars competing so closely, rear engine, front engine, big saloons and small saloons all on track together, great vid, will be watching more of these.

Yes 9_000 rpm for sure. A built 998cc Climax Imp (inc Clans and Davrians et al) was red lined at 9_000 back in the 1970s.😀

I raced imps from early eighties before that Cooper s ,s. both on slicks '. grethem/Hartwell. but let me tell you , minis beat you in the wet . that's with a man behind the wheel . these laps you are seeing are slow com paired the same car on slicks (avons'dunlops'MH.

I raced at Brands and many other circuits on three slicks, two people on an F1 sidecar outfit, of course these laps are slower than anything kitted out with slicks but that's not the point, it was a good bit of racing.

Truly good piece of driving and you got away to an excellent start - the BMW and the Fords had a bit more puff than you on the straights, but they never got away - impressive. Did you come in third (I didn't see a flag)? Love the way those Mk I Cortinas pick up their inside front wheel and waggle it about ;-)

That's what I always told the iRacing guys. You don't lose that much time drifting. Drifting isn't that hard. Tires don't overheat immediately to infinity. iRacing teaches you never to touch the limit. Real life motor racing is limit, limit, limit.
