The wheels are great aren't they. Compomotive made them with a special inner offset so that I could get racing 250s and 265s on, road equivalent to 270 and 290 road tyres. I wanted the rubber but didn't want them to stick out for the benefit of keeping the lines and damaging them on any side by side racing. Andy APM chose the colours!

Is there any kind of external door release (other than the button)?

Yes, you have to have a mechanical opening system, there is a push down button at the end of each door.

Tim, thanks for hosting the picture, cheers Jonny

The wheels look fantastic, really big fan of M06's... Andy at APM must be colour blind, they are atleast different I guess?? Not convinced on the restyled front, but it'll probably grow on me... does look more menacing as a result though!

What were the offsets in the end, im sure theres a few of us who want to run wide road tyres here..

Love the rims, marmite colour.
Can you send Andy to the opticians as I think he is colour blind, if not then to the taste doctor hehe, be interested on what the offsets are for the rear 10" rims though.

yes it does work we ran 4.5 to 5 sec a lap faster at snett in the gt race compared to the earlier tvr meeting although can't say how much was down to the wing but there were only minor other changes to the car and an ever confident driver, wing is changing anyway another foot wider each side as due to fan base we need more room to put the coffee cups smile

Looking good guys, looking forward to another good season.

andy

BTW, I'm supprised that you saw a gain on the wing at Snett, not the usual aero circuit. by that I mean to much time lost on the straights via drag, to make an overal gain on the fast corners put you ahead on the lap.

still if it works it works, and you were certainly plenty fast in that Mil cup thing. clap

should be fun, though we aren't doing much to the Griff frown

Yowzer, that looks great, reckon it would also look good with some matching big fat purple stripes down the middle to tie it all in.

Looks brilliant, like the 'dish' in those wide rear wheels and the little single headlights for flashing people out of the way. hehe
