We just got sent this video of 750 Motor Club's 'Stock Hatch' series that features a bunch of racing car drivers (nutters) fighting it out in a bunch of stripped out Citroen Saxos. We aren’t sure what rules and regulations these guys drive by, however it sure is entertaining.
The race takes place at Snetterton Circuit in Norwich, United Kingdom
Cars that race in the series must meet the following specifications:
For ‘Hatchbacks’, available for sale in the UK. Up to 1400cc multi-valve and up to 1600cc two-valve-per-cylinder. New in 2008 was the 1600cc 16v Citroen C2 VTS. There is a minimum weight including driver; the winning cars are ballasted.
