Call me old but dam that was good. Had me on the edge of my seat shouting at the tv. I had a imp my mate had a mini... I had a fordson super dexta and my mate had a massy ferguson 35x we used to race How we are still alive is a question.. Kids today will never understand the virtues of a carb needle set. Porting your own head and skimming it with glass and grinding paste. Brilliant film.

Great video interesting comparison between a mini and an imp. I forgot how much minis bounce the front wheels even flat out on the start fnnish straight 👍

The Imp had a bit more top end speed and could pull out of the slow corners better, but a bit more of a handful in the corners and it doesn't brake as well either. I guess the rear engine/gearbox set up helps with traction, but hinders on braking and, maybe, makes the handling trickier. In any event, a very interesting little comparison.

Tim always thought the Imps had a braking advantage because of the size that you can get under the Imps wheels, but you can see the Mini is far more stable under braking and gains so much through the corners. Just realised this was taken 10 years ago when the HSCC Pre-65 was oversubscribed at many races. It's a pity it has dropped off in recent years.

hi surfblue, i own a 71 smokegrey and was wondering what front toe angle you use when racing... BTW nice videos.

Damn! I was willing you to catch that imp. Oh well, nearly. Thanks so much for posting this. On TV the producers think we have to see something different every 5 seconds. A sustained view from one place was fascinating. And that track - so narrow, how do you pass?

The Imps are allowed to run 1150cc engines in this series. They also benefit from 12 inch tyres which do not over heat and larger brakes.
