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!

Sorry just a quick question?

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.

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
