If you get a chance have a look at the Clarkson Christmas DVD Italian Job as there is a great shot of the championship winner giving the RS2000 large at Lydden, Clarkson even comments that its like an episode from the Sweeny up the front! They are a very competitive car in the CTCRC championships you wont be disappointed. Carb regs for Group 1 CTCRC state that the same number of chokes as the homologated set up but dont have to be the same carbs hence the RS2000 can use a pair of sidedraughts where as a Mk 1 to run in the earlier Post Historics has to use a pair of downdraughts but can use sidedraughts if he only wants to compete in Gp1 which some opt to do.
