It's a horsepower race!!!!

[PeterT]

put mckeever in a car with more normal power and see how he goes..

it would be interesting to see what hes like alrite, in something under 300bhp or something!

[will_c]

cap power output in amateur/semipro, or just throw lads like that into pro and make it more interesting!

[pole drift]

I don't think it's fare to have a BHP cap, tyres is the only thing you can restrict.

I actually can not believe some of the comments on this thread,, ye obviously have no idea what ye are talking about!! Duane is a savage pilot, it has nothing to do with his car, yes he has horsepower and a well set up car BUT it's sweet fuck all good to you if you can't steer it!!!! And another thing everyone thinks because you have loads of power it's easy to drive, it's far from it iv driven plenty of high horsepower cars in different forms of Motorsport and your reaction times have to be alot faster,,, it's totally unfair to come on here and say duane done well this weekend because of his car, he done well because he can fucking drive end of!! Pisses me right off seeing this to be honest!! I talked to duane and his dad a couple of times over the weekend and nicer lads you wouldn meet and I hope bullshit comments like in this thread won't discourage duane from coming to future events!!!

in my opinion there are advantages and also disadvantages of having a very high powered car when drifting...but at the end of the day it dosent matter who has what if you cant drive it! Duane done well cuz he is an excellent driver and if anything should be praised even more because he can handle a car with such power at such a young age!

Well said, agree 100% with you, fair play to him only 15yrs of age, couldn't fault him and all the support he had with him. From where I was, it was hard to call between himself and Christy who's fault it was,

i agree totaly there is no way the power makes him go as well and as consistant as he does, anyone who has driven a 350bhp car will no its just enought usable power for most tracks put another 300bhp on top of that and it will be a dam hard car to drive the same way!! for a few resons dont forget lads with that power comes big turbos wich brings in lag you get into a car with any form of lag and try fallow a slower driver and not let the car fall out of its power range and still stay on the perfect line 3-4 inches off a wall!!

Duane spun infront of Christy in fairness just came in to hot,, but that's a different story can happen anyone, spun myself in my first battle,,,

[PeterT]

we put this thread up yesterday drunk...banter is all certainly punchestown was a track that realy needed a proper set up car due to the differant speeds and corners!

is that blue ae86 actualy only a 16v on the topic of power???

it's totally unfair to come on here and say duane done well this weekend because of his car,

maybe will is implying it would be interesting, not sure he was putting him down! theres no denying hes a serious driver alrite!
