Hi.
My name is Thomas and I am from Germany.

I'm intrested in the FT86 because my current "trackday" car started to get boring this summer.
And this on a track where being bored is the best way to get killed by being inattentive.

I'm doing 120 to 150 laps a year on the Nuerburgring in a (don't laugh) Smart Roadster.
Cute little car. 1800 lbs, 125 HP, rather extreme cornering speeds...
But I hand tuned the software of this litte 699cc turbo engine to the limit and this summer I hit the point where I couldn't improve my average laptimes anymore.
The Ring is about one hour away from here and it's more like a hobby then a trackday once in while.

I hope the FT 86 will have that Subaru 2.5 turbo engine and give me an alternative for my current tray toy.
