There was more than one of these that raced. I know Roddy Turner raced one with some success at Killarney, but I don't think handling was their forte. One also raced in JHB, can't remember who it was though. I seem to remember he raced against Morgenrood in a Mazda MX6???

Late Paddy O' Sullivan won the championship in one. Des Ally I think also raced one. Were successfull in their own right as turbo cars seemed something that could not last those days.

I seem to remember them being banned from production racing because they were too fast?!?!?! Up at altitude they had a huge advantage over the other normally aspirated cars. I also remember Paddy o'Sullivan winning a championship in one. I also think Pady Driver raced one.
