As for racing a XF - there are lots racing very sucessfuly in the USA, check em out on you tube
Had a look on YouTube pretty much all is drag racing not circuit racing – me I wouldn’t race a XFR in UK with the lack of body parts. If I did, and I looked at the 750 Roadsport series, I think that for 45 mins I would want to update to ceramic rotors if allowed but being against things such as Elise’s & Boxsters with the vast amount of tuning kit available for them may prove fruitless and after all the XFR is known more as a sports tourer than a sports car and probably more suited to drag racing al la USA
As said they (discs & pads) look cool so it’s more about pose than practicality and we all got Crossfires to be different didn’t we?
