We saw this fantastic Racing Turner Sports Car VUD 701 at the Motorsports Show,it is owned by a racing driver Chris Fulke-Greville and was an invite on the Minister Racing Engines stand looking great painted in Black,every time we go to a show this little racer is there and it draws massive crowds.
If you want to know how quick this racer is have a look at these times that where printed out 0-60mph in 2.9 seconds,1/4 mile in 10.7 seconds,top speed it said over 160mph,lap times where something to eat your heart out for,Brands Hatch Circuit 44 seconds,Silverstone National well under 60 seconds the list was endless this Racing Turner Sports Car has been winning all its races since 1961 with lots of well known racing drivers.
There was a big ten page feature done on this car last year the engine they are using is a 240bhp Short Stroke All Steel Ford 1824cc X/Flow built by Cosworth and a development contractor to Maclaren,it revs to over 10,000 rpm,The chassis is Semi Spaced Framed,Alloy over steel,all the Lightweight panels unclip to show the racer wearing 11in wide slicks,this car weighs only 490 kilos no wonder its bloody quick.
You can view the Turner on www.autoportonline.com competition section in sprint and hillclimb,also www.turnersportscars.co.uk in the chassis section No 61/490A.
Its one of those racing cars that everyone loves when they first see it,whether you are into Circuit Racing,Hot Rods,Fast Cars this racing Modsports Turner Sports Car is the top dog and the fastest modsports anywhere.
We spoke to the owner Chris Fulke-Greville at a racing test day and he confirms the Turner will be tested most of this year ready to race next year so you will see it in action at loads of circuit events around the UK and is being shown again this year at Bromley Pageant,The NEC and Stoneleigh as well as loads of other shows such as Surrey County Show,Boughton Monchelsea at Maidstone.
The owner is a real petrol head and will talk to you all day about car racing and what good mods you can do to your cars,catch him at the shows or circuits or his brother Peter who owns that alloy fabrication business called SpecR Alloy. |
