WSCC Stock Cars Stock Cars

The most competitive formula at Warton, contact is allowed, but no follw-ins, action is rarely far away.
These cars, for the most part, are porpose built to race at Warton. Engines range from plain to Pintos and beyond. The fins do make a difference to the downforce, as cars who loose them seem harder to control. Some may say the cars will do 80 miles an hour on the straight, I'm not convinced, but they are ruddy fast!
