Nick, can you tell me who supplied the carbon fibre roof - is it one of your own?

Cheers,

If anyone wants a ride at Silverstone bring a helmet and £10 for a wrist band

Engine bay is just superb!

I like the concept of this car a lot...looks great fun and nice to be different

I wonder would some spacers fill out those front arches to perfection?

It's a custom silencer system, based on a Prepfab rally system, with a tubular repackable silencer for each bank. Due to the tacho being incorrectly calibrated it tested at Snetterton at 105dB static..................... at 7000 rpm! Silverstone has a driveby system with a 105 limit, it didn't get mentioned. I asked Mr Ferry Man what it sounded like passing at over 7000 rpm, "I didn't notice it!" I am booked in for Castle Combe next year with its 100 static limit, and will take a pair of bolt on silencers just in case. I's noisy enough inside to need ear defenders!

This is my first incar video taken with a Gopro HD. It makes one realise how many mistakes one makes, the most obvious being the shuffling of my hands on the wheel. I will be moving the wheel 60mm closer which may help :rolleyes: This was the BMW car club track day on the Silverstone GP circuit that Ferry Man's pics came from on. It's towards the end of the day, hence the sun in eyes moments!
