Looking good. Do we have any numbers on the engine? Size, power and the like? What are the lap times looking like?

Exciting stuff- great to see it out there.

We have no idea but it is running in Class A which means it has more than 300 bhp / tonnes at the rear wheels. It a lovely looking and well built car and I'm sure that Jason will not want any of us to scratch it wink

I'll see how close I can get to him in the first corner before he bottles out biggrin (Only kidding Jason, honest)
