Had a long chat with Martin (Martin500labbats) yesterday at the Beulieu Show, he had his Texaco RS500 touring car on display, this is one of the Ruddie Eggenberger built cars from Germany..........

Lots of differences between the way it's built compared to the Andy Rouse UK cars - BUT LOOK (pics):

1. Two fuel rails (as homolgated), the outer fuel rail has 4 x yellows and the loom connectors fitted - BUT no fuel line/fuel supply (i.e. dormant rail).

2. The inner fuel rail is made of 1" (25mm) box section and has 4 BOSCH 1000cc injectors fitted!!! This was back in 1986/7...........so how far advanced was Rudie's spec....no wonder they were hostile to Andy Rouse coming anywhere near their pit garage to have a look at the engine bay.

Will put up more pics in a while, including the HUGE Bosch water cooled ECU (about 40cm square amd 70 cm thick)........
