The Egress was a good competitive chassis, the biggest reason it wasn't as popular is that it cost £270, compared with £175 for the Mid and £199 for the Cat, both proven race winners. High price means less people buy them, so less people to develop it on the track. Jamie Booth did okay with it but didn't start getting the big results until he switched to the Manta Ray.

I have yet to see a TRF501X in the flesh but it does look a great car, think it is the first Tamiya to make a Euro's A ... might be wrong, Jamie might have done that with the Manta Ray... .

Jamies Astute did finish 7th in the '90 Euros with a car like this one
