RPM / RALLYWORLD will be looking at a new front anti roll bar system over the next few months for tarmac events as the car is set up for mainly gravel events

robin starts to find the limits of the car

robin gets to grips in his RPM/RALLY WORLD FOCUS

robin what have you done

robin finds the speed but also a landing light which was hiding in the grass this resulted in a badly bent front strut the saving grace is that all the new suspension set up done by baz cannon survived with no problem so a quick fix for now and there are talks of more developments for the new year
