depends what vectra, and what year, it is possible although unlikly it is a z engine with fly by wire throttle, whcih could make things a little harder as the z engines ae more complex electronically, the x engines aint that bad tbh are reasonabbly self contained in the electrics etc and aint that compliacated

tbh it is possible to put it on a kart for the love of god i cant think why. it really wouldnt be worth it, making it power a blender would be more sensible tbh. out of interest which engine is it, engine code if poss but i can work that out if you aint got it

i agree with intrepid, i have had times were i have been caught out by not being that very experainced and expecting the kart to run run wider cos of the higher sped i was doing but it actally turned better that the laps before when i took it slower cos the rear wheel was lifting more, you have to rememeber that they are soklid axle and to make them turn you have to make the inner wheel travel over less ground than it wants too, eith by waving it in the air or by spinning it, the former being the better option.

i do admit i only have a small amount of experiance actaully racing karts but understand how they work pretty well

ive seen them many times at brands hatch and they are great to watch, tiny/ simple cars= great close racing, imho it would make an excellent support series for the btcc basicly due to the action it involves, its quet wierd them suporting the truck racing cos you then have the largest and one of the smallest vehicles racing in the uk

tbh any 4wd touring car with the corrct tyres and correct setuo will drift just fine, the main differance with the preset rift cars is the usually have a few things you would have to get for a standard touring car, i borrowed my cousins drift tyres/wheel once and just shoved em on my tc4 ft that was setup for carpet racing at the time and it drifted fine lol

tbh you can go alot further wrong than a landie and tbh you can have a right crack in them and while all your mates are running round it little cars with no room you have somehting that is actually useful, and if you decide to have an argument with another car or stationary object it will stand up pretty well and yu wont be goign that fast either cos fast in anything other than a landie with a v8 is a relative term so speeding fines arnt a worry either lol

dit: as for insurance i know someone who insured a v8 range rover as their first car for alot less than its gonna cost me for my corsa, which if im actually working as an aprentice when i start driving is gonna probably cost in excess of £3000 tpft

yh the brands hatch super pri is great and as its the last event of the year poeple seem a bit more willing to smash the trucks up lol, elton boocock even caries hats in the cab incase he crashes and then stands on the barrier and flings them over the fence, absolutly classic, did it on the brands hatch south bank,it was last year i think, very funny when you actually see it

the trucks are great, i go every year to brands hatch to watch them, they have the pickups suport them as has been said plus what must be my favorit series the legends, its worth going just for that and from the program of november last year there were alos the caterham academy, dunlop motorsport new saloon chamiponship. the truck are great close racing and door banging in huge truck and when they crash they crash, especially when they roll over, have a look on youtube about tukracing in november 2008 at brands and youle probably see it,

RIP a freak accident that everyone knows is posible but hopes would never happen, accidents like this a danger associated with single seaters unfortunatly. such a promising talent gone, a sad day for motorsport indeed

well tbh it doesnt make me smile, and there are some perfectly good cars there that imo have been absolutly ruined but there you go. even if the point is to look utterly stupid it still makes you look like an idiot driving it

edit: ah yes all of this is just my opinion but im firmly sticking by my opinion

tbh it dont matter if its a style or not, it is stupid cos it achieves nothing other than weighing the car down, creating drag, and looking utterly stupid
