does anyone know what they handle like? anyone seen one out on track?

a scorpion was the first kit car i ever loved, used to have a picture of one above my pc screen many many moons ago.

have been thinking about getting one but didnt know how the three wheel idea performs.

is it like a bike, but with better turning? or is it like a BEC with a wheel missing?

with one wheel supplying all the power are they tail happy?

sorry to hijack.

4 on ebay right now, two of which are £8500 ono.
Is that what you call 'so expensive', because to me that sounds like a bargain. OK I don't have that much cash, but sounds like a pretty good price for what you get.

From Top Gear mag many years ago: 'Handles like a grippy caterham until you back off mid corner.....'
