    Got eight of these cars in total couple of runners ready to go. Couple of shells and everything in between would make excellent drift cars could be rhd converted for a couple hundred quid of parts from a monaro or similar. Could do with the diffs shimming(kaaz 2 ways) or welding and the lock stops chopping/rack spacers for more lock and they are pretty much ready to go skid! I had one round the track a few times at matsuri and they have huge potential.

    Massive spec, ls1 power, check out this one on ebay. looking at £12000 for a fully running one (have 2 ready to go)or open to offers part ex whatever. get in touch! Call or text 07884128863.

    These are the ex V8 Supercar Middle-East Championship cars that races in Bahrain/Saudi/Abu-Dhabi from 2007 until 2012 after which some were purchased by The Racing School (UK Experience Company) and the ones which I used to do Hi-Speed Passenger and Drift rides in.

    I worked out in the Middle-East with many of the drivers and teams so know a lot about these cars. They are very robust even when driven hard as we used to do maybe 7hrs pretty much solid drift rides (not too extreme) in them often 8-10 days a month for a few years. Not sure if these are the Racing School ones (think they sold some) or the remaining ones from the Middle-East.

    For the last few years of their V8 Championship they ran with (SC06) 2006 car (this one) and the 2009 car.

    Here is some onboard video from the SC06 car, like the ones for sale.



    And some external and onboard footage from the SC06s and SC09s which were the first cars ever to race on the Yas Marina circuit in Abu-Dhabi.



    They do drift as you can see here :) not intentionally though. The circuit was covered in sand and trying to drive on a thin film of sand is very tricky as the hot slick tyres pick up the sand and it's like driving on mini ball-bearings.
