some series dont allow sequentials in certain classes, other operate as a class +1 if running seq BUT the classes the car races in just now a seq is pretty much the norm

the exige, er..... yes... didnt know they had a roof that came off 
Elise no, but it was the bloody seating position and steering wheel. A bit weird really as it was an S2 so i'd have thought it would have been silimar to the exige

GT CUP round we were aiming to do has been cancelled... perhaps look to do Classic Thunder at Cadwell instead.
Still waiting for some gearbox parts... had to alter some other parts too (sleeve for release bearing was too small for hollinger input shaft cover).
Repairs to GRP front wing from tyre wall incident
Some Steve style B&Q modding

more B&Q motorsport...... made some new end-plates for the BG wing. Not really sure how it'll help being completly honest, but i'm always hearing the big endplates like this are better... so I chopped up some spare HDPE and whapped them on. 15min job..... can easy go back to the smaller carbon ones in a flash.

may alter it so the end plates have more downward hang rather than a 50/50 split, ken

The end plates sort out the turbulence, if it was straight edged like a normal spoiler the air passin over,under and by the side would start to spiral which causes turbulence the end plates stop the spiralling air and makes the car pass through the air quicker

some back ground reading on my reasons for making big gay end plates for the big gay wing
https://wiki.rit.edu/display/03045514020112/44C+-+Project+Decription+-+PD
Reading that further would suggest a more offset ( som more overhang lower) mounting would be best Easy to change

looking at proven wing profiles, CFD rather then windtunnel.... crap in a bucket... over 1k just for the chord

alterd the big Gay Endplates abit, more overhang rather than 50/50. Should mean more downforce 'should'
remade the rear panel/cover for the fuel pumps and what not - DiBond
some alterations needed to the gearbox subframe to fit the sequential
and new uprights.... Designed by Live Lee
