Just got the Jag 220 after needing several attempts at that little 3 wheeler thingy. what a handful!! Has anyone else found this? Could never get to the first bend even on pole, terrible handling, etc,etc. Worth it though that 220 flies!!! C5
: Just got the Jag 220 after needing several attempts at that little 3 wheeler : thingy. what a handful!! Has anyone else found this? I'm still pedalling that dreadful 3-wheeler round (Scorpion). Anyone know if this is a _real_ vehicle? Apart from the "AC blower" I've seen all the other support vehicles in TOCA 2 race. Never even heard of the Scorpion though. It's a damned weird concept - (and I've never driven anything in a sim with such weird handling - 2 wheel steer - one powered wheel - well, it sure doesn't have any understeer anyway). -- Richard G.

Yes it does exist! Although I have seen on a racetrack, never seen at BTCC events. Difficult but great fun with all that oversteer. C5 > : Just got the Jag 220 after needing several attempts at that little 3 wheeler

the scorpion is a real car, its built by grinall and has a punchy little bmw k series engine behind the driver which can do over 110mph how do i know this? cuz my friend has one ! nice little thing and gets attentioj everywhere! i did have a pic and ill find one and scan it if you dont believe me! also Lock rannoch (the fantasy track) exists also and ive been their too, unfortunately the road around the loch is nothing like the track, but the lake is the same shape! oh and the scorpion is a strange contraption and the owner hit a puddle at 80mph on the motorway and stuck it under the armco! jay
