Just watched the BTCC on OneHD which was held in teaming conditions at Brands Hatch.

It was won by Team AON - Ford Focus powered by LPG with another coming 3rd!

Believed to be a world first for Touring Car racing.

First win for Ford in BTCC in the last 10 years and it runs on BBQ gas, OMG, will the LPG bashers be unhappy?

What a great result, good to see the focus kicking butt, they won race two as well.

Now, Ford do us a favour and bring the damn thing here. I will get rid of the Mini for one.

Geez great effort, how long have AON been running lpg?

I see they've been quick to restrict the intake size on the vehicle to bring it back to the other makes.

Be interesting to see how they perform with the new restrictors. I guess with its higher octane the LPG power Focus were able to extract more power by further advanced timing. Just an extra degree or two would yield a similar percentage gain.
