Has anyone got any hints about where to fit a towing strap on a cerbera? Track has asked us to fit one if possible.

I see little scope for it from a quick look.

There is a towing eye under the front of the car. But when ever I've seen it used it puts pressure on the nose as the eye is so low.

tThere's a tie down on mine in a metal hoop/triangle welded to the chassis, you can see it here:


However, any towing strap will rip off the front spoiler/fibreglass chin.
I don't think theres anywhere else?

Well I put one on the little triangle at the front and... never needed it!

Had a full day on track and drove the car home working as well as when it arrived (unlike Mrs Fatjons Supra which spat out a gearbox). Only one kitty litter moment but with enough speed to get out the other side of it and carry on. Another very big shout for Mark Hales who was a star all day and had my 16 year old son blasting around in the Cerbera at 100% commitment without any drama after a few more hours practice in an MX5. He even improved my very limited track skills which says as much for his patience as his instruction.

Now going to call Richard Thorpe with some handling improvement tips jotted down.

I saw this on a Cerbera last year, I thought it looked like a great idea.

Then I started wondering what would happen it snagged on something accidentally, and that was all the excuse I needed to stop investigating.
