Just seen a picture on Facebook of a racing Cerb having a serious crash and went on your Facebook page to check it wasn't yourself... gutted to see that it was. Hope you are feeling better soon and great to hear you are planning on fixing the car. Would love to come and see it in action once it's straight again!
Hi all,
Sorry for not posting on here after the crash, I put it all up on Facebook and forgot to add it on PH.
I’m all good and the car is already sitting on her new chassis. Lots still to do but the ambitious aim for the cars next outing will be the time attack round at Brands on the 24th of June.
Thanks
Mike

On the 24th June my Verb and I will be in Unst on a bit old a road trip.
Hope all goes will and Good luck!
So the rebuild is coming along but more slowly than originally planned. I decided it wasn’t worth rushing the rebuild as we had been help up by parts etc.
However things are starting to speed up again.
The new chassis is finished and on the car with the roll cage welded back in. Next will be a complete re wire. The new pedal box has arrive and is a real work of art. Also over 10kg lighter than the original unit!
The plan will be to have the car back on track this year at some point.
On a positive note the MK1 Escort is going brilliantly with the 4.7 and we had a really good outing at brands veering a handful of Tuscan challenge cars etc. Managing a 52.8 on road tyres!
Anyway here is some pedal porn...
Hopefully I will have more updates soon.

So it has been a long old road but we are almost ready for the 2019 season!
As you can expect when a car looked like this...
In the picture above everything should be pointing straight at the camera not at a 45 degree angle!
Lots of changes have been made as this was the perfect opportunity to do so, complete rebuild, new chassis and cage, redesigned front aero, new front suspension mounting points for the 4 way Ohlins, loads of weight lost from the front bodywork (all now single skin with anything structural in honeycombs aluminium) A much more aggressive exhaust set up (4 into one with very large primary’s in both length and diameter) Much lighter floor mounted pedal pedal set up with a completely redesigned brake system. The car has also grown another 2 inches in width so now almost a foot wider than a standard cerb!
New Chassis
Body Work Completed
Exhaust, suspension and new bodywork designs
The plan is to be testing on the 23rd of April with the car going off to Syvecs next week for some ecu magic to make the most of the new exhaust system including an injector change and some other electronic wizardry that is beyond me...
There is still time for something to go wrong and miss our deadlines but the plan is that the first race will be on the 6th of May at the TVR Festival at Castle Coombe. It’s going to be a busy 3 weeks!
As always follow the Facebook page @ cerberav8racing for more regular updates and videos etc.

Not sure why the pictures have rotated.....
