Fishmouth indeed. I immediately thought of this from the front.

Rubbish, it looks far better than that.

Andy Holden drove the black car... not sure who built it...

Sure it was at Castle Combe... when Cliff "rolled" the Tasmin...

This season there should be a few of the GTF600R's possibly Andy's sag , Cliffs speed six T350, the Mighty Thorpedo, some ajp and rv8 Tuscans, a couple of ajp cerbs, together with the tasmins and a few other motors

Cliff's attempt at flight was at Mallory, I was there, it was wet. He didn't roll it, it sort of rolled for him as he went down a bit of a bank. Must have been strange looking at an upside down world.

I think it could be a really interesting season with all the new cars coming out.

Boosted.

Yes, it was Mallory... I was there too...

Thats a shame would be great if it could be used for the road as well. Like a hardcore Track/Road car like a fezza 360CS.

Track use only?? aaaaaaaaaaaaahhh why? you could also build a few for road use so you don't need real crashtest but go in the single vihecle check/SVA? or how is that named in the UK I'm sure more people would like such car on the road with a few extra's then(so also a few kilo's sadly but still lighter and more powerfull then standard cars...

I saw this at the Autosport show, it looked great. Obviously loads of gaping holes in the body as it was a race car, but Im sure it could be turned into a road worthy car. That would be a great site. Looks really low in the metal.

i love it, it looks alot better than the original if they do a road/track version for about £50,000 I could well be getting one. When and where are they next testing it, must see it in the flesh.

Why not just buy a Marcos TSO for £50k? job done.
(TSO - the car TVR should have built?)

NO NO NO, its not in the same league as this beast, just need to convince the misses.

I think a road / track version will be very difficult to engineer. Modding a racer into a road car is basically the opposite of what I'm currently doing to a T350. The roll cage is bulky (mines a Rollcentre too) and the cockpit very cramped. I was hoping to have mine as a road legal racer but I wouldn't be comfortable knowing my head was very close to the cage so I've scrapped that idea. Best to keep it for what it is, a serious track focused weapon. So much would have to be changed you'd probably be better of putting an LS engine into a road going Sag with some running gear, aero and suspension mods if that floats your boat.

Im a bit of a late comer to this discussion, but believe me I thought about posting when I saw the article first time around, but forgot
