Clive, I like a number of people have stumbled on this thread and your amazing work.
Keep up the fantastic quality, I will comment if I can be so bold that the old masters David Phipps and Michael Costin might be at odds with some of the suspension mounts and loading but be in awe of you quantity and CNC machine work
Cheers Graeme

Thanks you for your kind comments. But for reference look at an original tub esp the front suspension mounting points. It's some times hard to believe that thin gauge Aluminium can take such loads on the shock tower esp. Time will tell but I'm more than confident the load paths and pickup points are way stronger than anything needed for even a race car.

Nice idea but looking at the inside of the mould there are no features for window or door openings so it is nothing more than a very very expensive silhouette.
The other risk is that it was just a trial mould so you have no idea if that shape ever became a working car.

It has been talked about, but due to using the GT3 ECU means we would have to use another form of intelligent control unit....
Due to the size of the wing ( being more representative of an original ), we might dial the wing back to below zero degree rake for any high speed runs, so that could be a automatic setting controlled by actuators to.. Lots of options.

Trying to bring the wing as far forward as I dare, as this thing is going to make some serious downforce. I'd like to keep it as low as possible in more of a low drag setup, as it has a cord of 420mm and a width nearly 2M so in free air heaven knows what kind of downforce it would generate. But it cant be to low as it would then obscure the tail lights. Well that's all the fun getting it right I suppose...
