Sorry if this is a repost.

I like this as a track weapon but not the cost!!

Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

It's nice but I'd still rather it were a two seater! Front end is rather smart-car.

too expensive for what it is especially being a single seater, ok it may be very high tec but that's not much use if it makes it unaffordable, nice styling I particularly like it from the driving position which in most cars you just see the interior but in this you can appreciate the cars outside too

Very nice, but the only reason you'd have a car like that on the road is to scare the poo out of your mates... but its a single seater.

I take my £75k single seaters with much more power and much much more downforce....

saw one at goodwood last year. i believe it was Ian briggs driving it.

oddly he appeared to be speaking german, so i couldnt understand what he was saying to the other photographer and i didnt get a chance to speak to him as it was his turn to go out next. regardless i carried on taking pictures even though i didnt know exactly what it was at the time

I was in talks of working at BAC so got some closer looks into the car and factory. I think its a cool car but agreed with above, i'd rather have a extreme track single seater for that sort of money, However with all carbon body, 2.3 duratec, hewland box etc.., To be able to afford to setup and run a decent factory producing these cars. I can quickly see how they probably arent making much out of the 75k.

It effectively is a F3 car underneath with a road going body.... Be interesting to see what this leads to, mk 2 etc...
