Excellent news. It'll be interesting to see how the ST170 goes as a Tarmac Rally Car.

Hi Tim
At this stage we are not too sure what we plan to do. Motorsport is a bit unsettled at the moment so we are just sitting back and watching, before we determine which direction we will take. Darren has been checking out a few cars and doing some research. Regards Treena |

You guys should race RenaultSport Clio, that way the officials will get it right when it comes to car names

Hi Guys,
Just thought we would give you an update in relation to Best Racing recent edition to the garage....... Given we have spent the last 12 months karting with the kids, who are both doing very well, currently Ellexandra is leading the club championship narrowly over her brother Zakkary (its going to be full on to the last round in November). They both are also competing in various other events around Victoria / NSW & continue to amaze us with their skills. Yeah Darren's had itchy feet for a while but we hadn't decided on what to race and in what series. Today we picked up our new car its a Mitsubishi Evo 9. We are planning to compete in the Australian Production Car Championship in the 4 wheel drive turbo class (Class A). If all goes well we are aiming to be at the Oran Park round end of August. Yes I know you guys wont necessarily like this vehicle, but if Ford made a turbo 4 wheel drive Focus I'd be there! The Evo colour is very similiar to that of imperial blue of the Focus. Make sure if your at any of the race track's you pop in to say hello ! Darren & Treena, Ellexandra & Zakkary. http://www.fordforums.com.au/newrepl...e=1&p=2074263#  : :

Hi Timmeh,
Since we got the car it was only in the shed for 3 days, we have just picked up the car today from Melbourne. It now has the roll cage fitted, painted inside, motec put in. Now its time to put all the interior back, put in all the safety requirements (harness, fire ext, etc) and diffs, suspension and fuel tank. After this the car needs to be logged booked and sent back to dyno for final tuning then its lets hit the track... We haven't taken any photos yet as it's not been here, but once nearing completion will certainly post some for you. Hope all is well, Darren & Treena |
