1585cc GWR-Hayabusa Raptor 2 Spedding said: “I’ve run this chassis since 2018 was third overall in the British Championship in 2017. That was in a 1600cc GWR and I then went to a supercharged engine. When it worked it was fast and I had a win at Shelsley in 2019 with between 450 and 475bhp.
“I think that’s the last overall win for a small-engined car. That was the last 1600cc car to win, and I think it’s unlikely to happen again. But never say never. It’s now a normally aspirated 1600cc with 250bhp. It’s more usable power. You have to capitalise on the high corner speeds.”
