That looks great! Do please keep the pages updated with how you get on, I can’t be the only PHer who wanted to go single seaters but was too much of a wimp!
t you are than have a go in FF1600...
Turns out I’m also a wimp... However that may have preserved the car when the throttle stuck wide open on on the way into Island Bend on the 4th lap in qualifying. I‘m told Island Bend is easy flat in FF but I was lifting, which meant I discovered my problem there rather than in Shell Oils... Came back in on a tow rope having qualified 16th out of 22.
A quick modification to the throttle pedal stop and onto the races.
I’m terrible at rolling starts anyway and was being particularly circumspect into turn one. Both races were completed without incident and finished in 12th and 15th place. I didn’t overtake anybody, just benefitted from people falling off.
As my Dad observed I’m ‘driving it on rails’, and I was 4 seconds off the fastest driver’s pace, so I’ve got to practice to get the car on the limit.
Honestly I was glad to keep the car in one piece and pretty much met my own low expectations.
Cadwell next weekend

I currently got a saxo vts on bodies and standalone. (That's also for sale I the sale ads) 
But I am also building a mk1 leon ... thing. Complete build from ground up every nut and bolt has been out.
Tubular subframe, btcc brakes and 6 pot ap calipers will do a readers ride thing when I get a min
