That is a vauhal tigra silhouette. It's normally build from a nation hot road from oval racing. Fully space frame. Vauxhall red top about 200 bhp. And turns right. So they put in polycarbonate windows and set up different and then run on circuits
Thanks
update, Owner came back and confirmed following
Hi I’m Steve towers it’s my car.
It’s a one off build by a guy called Jerry Irwin and was raced at the castle Combe got champs.
It’s a Ludlow space frame as used my the intermarque Series.
It’s powered by a 2.3 eco boost turbo.
Cadwell was my first dry races in the car and pretty much my first two dry races ever! It’s really quick I’m not yet but getting there

A Ford Anglia, on track, never thought that would happen. I remember my dad upgrading to one from his old Ford Prefect, when I wanted him to get the Zephyr, a lot cooler.
Track day today at Cadwell Park, had a great time, before I get into the different cars I would like to thank the guys at https://opentrack.co.uk/, I managed to loose my debit card, did the rounds of all the places to see if it had been handed in but sadly NO. Went to the guys to say i would not be able to use my slot for free tuition. I explained I could not find it and would have to go home and cancel the card and get another card so i could get some fuel. They chief guys said dont worry I will pay for your petrol for the day and you can pay me back later. Did not take him up on his offer but I did think it was very nice of them and they meant it as well.
Anyway on to interesting cars
Hilman Imp, but with a bit of attitude.
Came from the factory with 36hp - yes 36hp but after these guys have played with it it now produces over 100 and its been reduced in weight and I can assure you it goes like stink.
Saw this MK3 (which I don't see very often at Cadwell/Bedford but its a Stage 3 running 500 odd bhp and looks very nice and to be clear this is not Darkside Development its a Bodyshop but a very nice motor.

Can't believe a Hillman Imp had only 36hp I thought they where fast back then.

Yes, forgot they were very light and engine in the back helped put the power down too.
and at the same time there was nothing in the front so it was possible if you upgraded the engine to do wheelies. Another pic of the motor out on the track.
Great day at Cadwell today, Rain stayed away and we had a good time
Loved this Escort RS
No idea what it is but looks great fun to drive
Triumph Spitfire
And look at the difference in size between an old car and modern french stuff (and german)

There was a Leon at Cadwell when I was there on 22nd. Looked like an ex btcc shell as proper setup & lhd. Went out twice & made it half way round each time before red flag. 2 of the 3 red flags of the day
Another great day at Cadwell today,
The young man beind the car's first track day and first track car (he bought it with this paint job which certainly stands out on the track.
Seen these before but I do love to see older cars being used on the track, I would also point out it did not look like he had any suspension at all, it was very low to the ground and off the track bounced around a bit.
And finally this beast, although he did miss most of the morning waiting for the track to dry out enough but it went like S**t off a shoval

Another great day at Cadwell today, saw there two monsters
This one is 4 wheel drive and according to the photographer I was talking to on the High Boost setting will produce 1000 bhp, certainly went like S**t of a shovel on the day.
And this is the little brother (in power terms) only running 475 bhp.
