The best thing about building a car like this is it's a future classic... safe money by race car standards (well I hope!!)
And a CSCC "Modern Classic" ;-)

The Jagermeister livery is just awesome.

Indeed Andy smile - I am sure you are aware we have registered these two cars plus another Bastos liveried E30 M3 for the 2013 CSCC Future Classics series. Looking forward to it too. We will be looking a couple of crew to help us on race days - anyone looking to be part of a competitive but fun team should get in touch smile

Looking forward to seeing them race. Hopefully you'll race them in "modern classics" too - eligible for both series!

Probably still run the e36 in that... We will see how it plays out. Biggest difficulty is car logistics

A quick update.... So we finally finished building some cars, been a labour of love. Two cars are complete (Jagermeister & Marlboro) and one more is nearly complete (livery tba wink ). We were light on testing and development but I was keen to get them out racing - this was clearly a mistake demonstrated when we took the two cars to Snetterton a few weeks ago and retired both due to small niggles.

So, after that we focused on one car for Brands last weekend and managed to get 3rd which was better than we hoped for considering the work still to be done on developing the car and that this is the first time it's run a race distance.

I'm really pleased as I know there is a ton more time in the car yet.
