2011 PPC Mag £999 Challenge....

999-2011_800_x_533

The PPC £999 Challenge at Santa Pod was a greatsuccess this year with ever increasing numbers.

999-2011-2_800_x_533The highlights were seeing Owelly's Magenta kitcar finish the event for the first time (although at times it looked like he was a passenger in the car and someone else had the remote controls), three Fiat Panda's with mods that included nitrous, removing doors, tailgates and bonnets to save weight and a leafblower as a supercharger, andsome seriously quick Scoobies.

The PPC team would like to say a big thanks to all that took part and thanks for making it a very entertaining day.

Watch out for the full write up in the Nov issue of PPC, we have just added the full results to the PPC £999 Challenge section of the website here

Practical Performance Car (PPC) is a monthly magazine aimed at real car enthusiasts interested in affordable performance tuning. At PPC we pride ourselves in providing the most entertaining, informative and inspiring features for petrolheads everywhere. Each month we feature an eclectic mix of affordable performance cars, great driving adventures and world-class technical features for the DiY tuner. Our editorial team is headed up by well known Will Holman who has a deserved reputation for 'stick a V8 under the bonnet' attitude to life. His editorial team is stacked with experience including Dave Walker (speciality engine management), of the sadly missed Cars and Car Conversions (CCC) magazine, David Vizard, the legendary engine tuning guru, and Kevin Leaper - ex technical editor of Practical Classics.
