Hi Mark, glad you enjoyed your day - it really did go down to the wire.

It was such a disappointing day for us, but in hindsight we were very lucky that there was not more damage to the car (or the driver!) - decided to make some significant changes to the car for the next round including wiring (as that now needs replacing anyway!) and the fuelling system. No doubt post an update on here in due course...

Thanks for your support today, was good to see some Ultima supporters there!

You should be able to get into the pits without any issues - though I guess you wont be able to park in the paddock. Be good to have as many supporters as possible!

Currently working on some major changes before Donington....

A bit of onboard video to keep you guys going....shame we started so far down the field due to our problems in qualifying...

Enjoy!

Oh yes, I like that. Good to see a GTR in real race conditions and driven like it should be. Great and would love to see more, so keep them coming please. Small suggestion.... Would be nice to have a rear view camera in a corner of the sceen to see whats going on behind too

Indeed it would - something else to add to the wishlist! Hopefully get that sorted in due course. Also have some exterior footage of pitstops etc so going to make a short promotional film after the next round and we will post it up.

It's wheel rub as we altered the ride height a touch from Silverstone...got to trim a bit more bodywork!

4 degrees for the last round...

The fronts are 260 wide on 10.5 inch wheels - there just us not enough front end grid with the standard size fronts. Ideally we would run 285s on the front but there isn't enough space. They are also a larger diameter - 640mm which is around an inch bigger than standard.

Hi Phil,

Sorry, only just come onto the forum for the first time in a while! We had the car in many, many parts over the weekend carrying out some significant upgrades, including new loom and fuel system. Got the car completed and tested today at Mallory; the car behaved itself so fingers crossed for the 4 hour at Donington this coming weekend.

We can't be giving away all our secrets!
