Hi All

I've just spent the weekend sprinting at Pembrey in my single seater - this is the first time I've driven the car! I was very nervous and waiting for something to break so a little off the pace (10%off the class average times). I broke the gear lever and had the external crank trigger wheel start coming loose but everything else was great and the R1 motor was awesome!

All I can say is it's mental! It felt like somebody screaming in my ears and kicking me in the arse all the time!

I took an on board video and will post that to uTube later hopefully. It felt manic but was obviously pretty timid in comparison to some others in my class!

I can only imagine how quiick.

I was there the other night while an acquaintance of mine was trying out his new car - a GSXR 1100 powered Megapin.

Shockingly quick little thing. 320kg apparently. I'm sure you and the Swift will get on famously

where bouts in wales are you? i live very close to pembrey and was going to go down earlier but didnt, they wanted 8quid each to get in and it was about 4 o'clock! should of gone earlier i know.

Thanks zilspeed - 152 BHP and 350kg ( aheavyweight!) too bloody quick for me!

COREdevelopments - I'm in Cynheidre (Pontyates area) - I could have sorted out a spare ticket if I'd have known!

Where are you?

Video is here

gutted! i live in crosshands, would of liked to see it go. i was down devon couple of weeks ago and went to wiscombe hillclimb and enjoyed it, was plenty of single seaters out!

Wiscombe is my favourite venue, even though I'm tediously slow (something to do with all the close trees!).

The video is now on the web here

Glad to hear its all running well Wyn

Thanks Chris

I couldn't have done it without this site and the help you and others have given me!

Wyn

nice one wyn

Do you have pictures of your car from the outside. The camera angle makes it look as though you don't have any wheels!

Wheels here !!!

Like the 3 wheeler in the back, good to see its finnished Wyn.

Thanks Joe

It's not quite finished - I've got loads of improvements to make after the weekend!

Here's a better picture - not n the garage / playroom!

that looks superb. will you be at llys y fran in july?

Thanks Guys

I think it's a nice looking car - it doesn't look out of proportion even though it's been chopped about a lot! The rear bodywork makes a difference - lots of the BEC single seaters have no bodywork from the roll hoop back.

Rob - hopefully I'll be at Llys y Fran - I don't particularly like it there but I picked up a 1st and 2nd in class (in the Locost) the last two times I went there so I must be doing something right!

Regards

Wyn

Splendid! Nice to see it finally running under its own steam!

ye its not as good as wiscombe, will you be at the next wiscombe in july i think?

Thanks Coose - I was going slow enough for it to have been running on steam!

Next Wiscombe for the Welsh Championship is in September - double header - well worth the journey!
