We will be testing the new Corsa VXR on either 25th/29th/30th May at Bruntingthorpe (Leicestershire) for a forthcoming test feature.

We are looking for a tuned Nova, Corsa B and Corsa C to come along for an opportunity to drive the car and give us your opinions. What's more an opportunity to get your car photographed for the feature too.

If you are interested, please post pics of your car along with a brief spec and contact email address.

IMO james hasnt even run propperly yet, to put it up for a group thrash at brunters is surely wrong, no one even knows what power it is yet

anyone with a tuned corsa will get in the vxr and it feel slower though there fore get negative reviews

i mean a bog standard XE wont be far off the pace

ideally you want some kids who are impressed by a bit of power and vxr badges

I feel a comparison with experienced 12v driver is needed to get a full idea of the VXR's performance.

He was aiming for PVS, but I dunno if it'll make it now

I'd suggest

70MM (ZLET C)
Broster (230bhp + 1.6 B)
Simps (CLET Nova)

All red, which the VXR will be if it's a press car...

Unless someone can think of a red corsa b turbo?

I thought that aswell, after 300bhp, 200bhp is going to be like a walk in the park

Agreed, a standard Nova GSi, Corsa (B) GSi and Corsa (C) 1.8 SRi would be better, against a standard top of the range D.
