wonderful history of Croup C days and how Gibson motorsport
went overboard with the exa by using a typo that allowed them
to use a T3 sized turbo when a t25 would have been less of a
headache. Other cars like fwd lower powered suzuki gtis and
later Fiat Abarth turbos in endurance racing proved there are
rewards for well balanced low power fwd machines in racing.
Fred Gibson just took too big of a bite and axes issues forced
the car to retire in the same manner twice.
George Fury on the other hand was a victim to hotter weather
than anticipated for the overboosted Z18et.
Pity this little beast was not RWD or easily convertible to RWD
as theres plenty of room for a north south engine.
