When the first LRP's appeared (late 89, early 90) they were far quicker than anything else around at the time.
I was running Parma Cyclone I used to get off Parma team drivers, but my new off the shelf LRP Blue SE blew them away.

I'd love to see a picture of the TopCat that Jamie Booth drove! He must have driven his 'socks off' to achieve his result as in my opinion the competition were driving better cars.
