Awesome, but will he fit in the thing? He looks a little larger than your average F1 driver.

Given he's doing some serious fettling on the bodywork to get it all to fit together, it could have some catastrophic effects on the high speed handling.

Fair play to him for following his dream, but part of me hopes he never drives the thing in anger.

He is a hero.

He will never fit in it but still it's an impressive achievement.

Amazing, pretty much everything on that site has been sold. Makes what he did even more impressive. Wonder how long it took to source all those parts.

What happened to the BAR chassis that another PH'r bought a couple of years ago at an auction?

I recall that he trailered it home & knowing that he couldn't get his hands on a Honda engine he was looking at buying another 3.5 litre race engine.

I can't find the thread anywhere. Can anyone help with an update?
