Another what car is better thread...

[Chris Elworthy]

Hi guys,

Hate to start a thread of this kind as we all know it starts becoming a "my current car is the best car" situation but It would be interested to hear peoples views.

I've previously raced on the national and regional circuit and I still hold my F2 licence. I took a break away from racing this summer due to various factors. I'm now ready to return for the winter but trying to keep cost down as I've got a lot on at home currently.

My local indoor winter meetings are on rubberised cork floor (similar to worksop) or a combination of slippy gym floor with carpet sections. My first choice of car purely for racing in these slippy conditions would be the VBC Firebolt but spares availability seems very scarce at the moment so I'm apprehensive to take the plunge. This really only leaves the AE B5m or TLR 22 2.0 as viable alternatives that fall within my criteria and price range.

What are your opinions on these 2 buggies from the good to the bad? Ideally focusing on their low/medium grip performance.

Of course if you feel I'm overlooking another model I'd like to know.


Thanks,


Chris
