sevetal of the people I know from hill climb now race in the young timer series due to it not having a requirement of the cars being historically correct.

there are several 75 turbo's in the youngtimer series. it could be one of these two cars:

I can imagine it would be a handful
I will be sure to have an extra look the next time I see it to an event

Location: leicsestershire		87 was the year rover did really well with the sd1, the next season cosworth ruled. I dont know why rover couldn't carry on being front runners in touring cars, maybe it was because they poured all the money into the 6r4. If so it was a bad move in my opinion.
