I am considering entering this, and since I'm on a spate of restoring old cars and running them in competitions, here is my updated interpretation of a Holden Gemini TX 2 door coupe (an iconic Holden hoon car of my Australian yoof and way classier than bogans banging around Bommodore VLs). It's not a perfect match for the specs, since the original ran a 1.5L 4 pot and 13 inch wheels, but it's a fantastic small 4 pot car. (And fok you Norman, if Der Bayer is entering with a coupe, then anything goes!

Have a picture of car 'testing' (a.k.a. how long can we make the burnout?) at the local Winton raceway... thanks Google for the photos!So I kind of tortured the engine slightly and did a couple of improper things with the setup, but everything is legit according to the specs! Once again, being the fan of power over practicality, I'll be aiming for a power to weight ratio of well over 500bhp:ton (because it's hard to do much more than that on 12000 bucks). The real trick is tuning the suspension, because all these tracks have very different characteristics, and tuning to max the speed on one will definitely adversely affect the others... not to mention that I don't have time to test over all ten tracks so we'll just pick some numbers out of a hat and hope for the best
