you do not need to see out of the back of the rear of the car according to MSA regulations (through what would be a window). E.g you can not see anything out of the back of the racing marcos at topcats that I raced at the 24hr.

The new radical couple has no visibility in the same way but it does have side mirrors.

You are meant to be able to adjust the main aid used to view backwards by hand - the new radical has left electric mirrors in for this reason - other ways of doing it is a rear view camera.

Thats what we have fitted, a rear view camera,Hopefully watching the other cars going smaller

Thanks Paul,

We also wish you all the best with your racing this season,

We may only do a couple of rounds in britcar, depends on sponsorship,but will do a few of the challenge races and other sprint races for a bit of fun.

Cheers

Hi Craig

where do you put the monitor? would you mount it where the rear view mirror is?
Have always thought about this because naturally a driver looks here to see what is behind. (unless I am driving my van which has no rear windows so I use the side mirrors)

Years ago I saw a road car with a mirror arrangement on the roof that acted like a periscope and helped the driver see through a caravan (car was too low)

Hi Terry

We got Danny to sit in the car with the moniter and was going to mount it were the mirror was, but he said he prefared it at the side of the data logger as he would be glancing at the shift lights ect,

I have also seen the periscope mirror set up and did cindider that as well, bue with the camera you will have a better weiw as the wind won't be in the way,i have one fitted to the race truck i leave on all the time and the quallity is that good you can even see chewing gum in the road.

Hows your beast coming on ?

Looks a bit high at the front... was that rather large petrol tank filled up ??
Awesome looking motor - needs the headlight covers on tho !

We took the car just to put some track miles on, it's not been touched as far as set up goes, we didn't have the front splitter fitted (the one on the car sits about 3" higher than the actual splitter)

Things like headlight cover are on the to do list, but we want it running right first.

We had the wrong rear slicks on 300/650/18 instead of 320/680/18, the car was to low at the rear as well and no rear diffuser.

The main job was to try the engine and box out which performed faultless, Danny and Brett were told not to rev it past 4k as it still tight and needs to settle in.

Sorry i didn't get time to chat to some of you guys, but we were busy all day checking it over every time it came in.

Both lads said it's going to be very quick when it's dialed in.
