For those of you too young to remember hear is a vid of a lotus Sumbeam … A car I had aged about 20 (21 years ago)… Good god it brings back fond memories …
Never got to drive it like this tho !
Enjoyed that
That’s Kinetic’s car (the red and white one) and that is one seriously rapid Sunbeam.
Fantastic video - but never going on one of their trackdays
real shame the video stopped before you got to see it going through Coppice & Charlies at full tilt

Err, that’s a race, but you knew that didn’t you, mate?
I think I actually did…
Another great vid of the Sunbeam in action at Brands :
Look for Mr Stamp on pole disappearing off to break the LMA Brands Record
Great vids, The gearing was just a little short for Brans then ?
Still at least when it runs on the limiter it doesnt blow up … unlike Peugeot 308’s
Awesome. I reckon that has nothing to do with how fast the sunbeam is and a whole lot of how good that guy is at peddling it!

Yup some pretty classy wheelmanship on show in both those clips.

I got hooked and watched them all, best racing Ive seen for some time
Yeah me to. Castle combe from the back was good!
Must do some work…me and Big Show have been severely distracted from our professional duties by this

It was well up to temperature and felt really good … I think that was the problem it just felt so free
Great pics Mark, remind me of RAC in Sutton Park …

Just remembered a few pics I’d posted on another forum a year or so ago.
Same car on the 1982 Scottish rally (picture taken by my dad as I was only 11).
