nice, the shot on the prom makes the car looks like two sinusoidal waves, wish I could afford one

Looks like that brown one has rear seats.

[lucozade]

why does the reg plate say T400R if it's a T440R ?

T400R and T440R are the same bodyshell. The only difference is the engine output...

There are two versions of the car the T400R and the T440R with 400bhp and 440bhp respectively. The red car with the rear plate of T400R looks like the car that has been at several motorshows recently. Guess Christof took pics of this car as well as the T440R and for ease of viewing Ted has put them under one area

Christof, is this your new baby then ?

The engine doesn't look very accessible with that chassis member across the top of the cylinder head.

Looks good though!

[beast]

that chassis member actually (un)attaches each end - making it very accessible.

racing improves the breed - they used to have to take the engine out the bottom, now it comes out the top !

Nice cage work Mr Short !

The thing that got me was how small the anti-roll bar is compared to the 3" thick carbon fibre mother that Rollcentre ran with last year.

If you think it looks nice, then hear it and you'll be in heaven. AWESOME !!!

Looks like the aluminium honeycomb carbon fibre sandwich round the front splitter and down the chassis either side of the radiator have bit the dust and been replaced with regular fibreglass....shame.

You've probably seen it before. A shot i took at Le Mans 2002. There's no keeping up with it in Chimaera Chimaera S3TAY.

I want one, it looks the mutts nuts. Now then, if I can find a rich relative from somewhere, sell the house and put the wife on the game I could afford the wheel nuts and a wing mirror !!!
