There is a few race cars there as well. New R300 race car on the BRSCC stand and also a R400 race car on Caterham stand.

I've just been having a nice chat with the guys, they are going to be on stand 2850 - not sure what hall though!
The R500 will be there (aparently with The Stig!) as will the new R300 race car and as mentioned above the R400 race car.

All they need now are some lycra clad young ladies....

Looks Like Caterham are here. Caterham @ Autosport

You just have to decipher the cryptic stand location key provided by Autosport ;-)

will be a rolling chassis this weekend, over to arch monday for hans posts fitted. Should shake down/run ni an snetterton OPL on the 24th if you fancy it?

Keeping the colours on the QT for the mo till I can show off the finished article. Looks "da nuts" though....... apparently I bought a third vio pov...couldn't resist! See you fri.

If you have a harness bar fitted to your cage, the fitting of bosses correctly spaced to make a harness fit a HANS device is a lot easier (and cheaper) than going back to Arch!

PS If you have a 3" harness already, there is no real benefit of switching to a 2" harness, as long as you ensure the outer edge of the harness is inside the outer lip on the HANS harness guide.

agreed, but if your shoulder line is higher than the rear harness mount, then a harness bar is safer.

This could be proven to an eligibility scrutineer on the grounds on increased safety, unless you'd prefer to have your spine slightly shortened?!

Bet it's green......

Having Arch alter the mounts after the car comes back from Autosport show, then 1st outing is to Anglesey at the end of the month........hopefully with everything finished.

You got all your bits??
