Indeed, we were extremely lucky, which is what the rescue diver said too. I do still have nightmares about it; I wish that horror on no soul.


Back on topic though, I really do look forward to the TVS project. They are the next wave in boosted applications as they have turbo-esque efficiency with blower response. All positive!

agreed, that's why I am pursuing this over the turbo car for road racing
you can get the power to the ground much easier with the s/c

all you need is just enough to hold your own in the straights with the big turbo evos to be able to beat them around the track

It's alive! Alive!

A new movement is born, where MINIs dominate on tracks around the world, even at the hands of inept drivers like me. Bring on the TQ!

What a service to the MINI community.

You've also created an aftermarket for functioning SCs when we all convert...
