Just a little build inspriration if anybody needs it. This was yesterday at the Bassingbourn airfield track day - and a fantastic time was had! Car ran like dream all day whilst being thrashed within an inch of it's life....

Very nice mate.... will get there soon myself

When you taking me out in your car then

Good stuff, interesting shape/bends on your roll hoop, not sure about the nut behind the wheel though
Shug.

Cheers chaps - roll bar done by my local blacksmith - not quite how I intended but it seems strong enough.

Ben, I'll take you out once it's SVA'd!

Cheers mate.. i'll look forward to it !

Sorry just a quick question?

How have you got a registration number if the car is not SVA'd??

Cheers

Just to make life easier with the track day folk (they like you to have a registration) I used the one from my donor. It's not registered with the DVLA or driven on the road.

and for anyone interested the photo which is Jaspers avatar was taken on track too.

Ned.

Absolutely!

Cheers mate, thats what I figured! Looks great in action...

How did it perform relative to other cars on the track (I am building a gsxr1000 car at the moment and I would be very interested on how it would compare with other cars)?

Looks like you did a great job on the car BTW - very clean!

The only thing that overtook me were other 7's on sticky tyres (I'm on Toyo's), and a Noble, but only on the long straight. A GSXR1000 car will take any production car on a short/twisty track, the porsches ferraris tvrs etc will only get you on a decent straight, then you outbrake them and get away through the bends. Nothing will out handle these cars.

Cheers - Doesn't look quite so clean now as I slightly split the rear drivers side wing on a cone during some serious understeer - which BTW these cars do effortlessly

Thanks for the info.

Sounds like you had some real fun!

or did you craft it lovingly by hand?
