Marsdendean a Yaris with 500BHP??

I take it it will end up like the Turbo'd Smart cars, too much turning and its over?

Yeah there's a write-up about how it used to spin very easily, but Century sorted that out and made it handle a lot better. The engine is in the back. Looking at the article again, it says it's 550bhp !

Toxo sounds like another car lost, shame because a lot of work went into that car.

Do you know if anyone was injured?

At least some of you got to see it at JAE :thumbup1:

Engine + ancilliaries have been sold on. Think Nathan's going to be concentrating on his race team next year.

Such a shame, that engine would have looked nice in my engine bay though:Chair:

totally worn out and broken, shouting 'Holy ****, WHAT A RIDE!'"

Shame to loose such an impressive car, but we know that century motorsports will be concentrating on bigger and better things. I know where the engine has gone to as well!
