Hi, I know for sure that the g box is an FTR and that the guy is manufacturing nearly everything else himself. He is no stranger to building cars, this is his previous creation using a Honda Blackbird engine and a Dallara carbon tub.

Hi Mark, he is hoping to start the car by Christmas, so I am guessing yes :-)

No idea how good its aero/downforce is/was, but I think that looks absolutely superb, a thing of beauty.

Just for kicks, another couple of shots of his creation, which ironically he named the SR1 ;-)

Have you got any pics of how the engine is attached to the chassis? I guessing the engine a is a stressed member, but there looks to be nothing tying the gearbox back to the bulkhead apart from the engine.

There appears to be bracing down the side of the engine, so it doesn't appear to be fully stressed.
