Space Framing isn't allowed, I think it was a Skyline that someone built for TA and that was spaceframed, just in a way that was allowed to compete in the normal classes, Andys car is a kit car in their eyes which tbh is fair.
Simons car iirc does runs what looks like front tubs which I thought wasn't allowed but I am sure its been built to bend the rulebook, nothing wrong with that as ANY motorsport team would do the same.

at TA i thought they would only use gas for the final but after seeing the results they obviously used it in qualifying too,, they'll be glad i never had gas!!

Anyone know anything about the yellow evo that got smashed? I was in the paddock when it got towed back in and *though I might have misheard* sure the driver said something like "felt like he hit me at 70" or something? Was there a bit of paint getting swapped?

Well done Andy and sorry to hear you had issues too. My rear diff ripped itself from the mounts when just going around fairly slowly during the first session.....end of the day for me. Felt AWESOME through the bends though.......roll on round 2!

what power is that thing now and do you think shortening it will have hampered handling

it was good to get in with some big power cars but proper race is better and better to watch a couple of cars battling over a place!

Thanks Yappstar a LOT of effort has gone into the bloody thing!
Jacko - Im not even sure right now but it is between 1000Hp and 1100Hp at FULL boost (3 bar) only use 1.8-1.9 bar on track though which will be about 850Hp. The rear diff mounts broke beacue they were done very badly by a certain company, no other reason.
Cool sounds good Andrew, I love wheel to wheel stuff too but wouldn't risk the green car doing that. If I crashed it I would be suicidal! If im honest I was/am seriously considering not going to Knockhill, if I went all that way and it was Oulton take 2 I would be pretty hacked off. Im sure my mind will change over the next week or so though.
Whats your PB round there in the focus?
Cheers

Was at kh today watching the focus's superb cars and very very fast! respect to Mr Gallacher, was disapointed not to see the DJM fiesta running evo engine ect, he was having boost issues and didnt want to risk the engine 600bhp, Seriously thinking on trying my hand in this class with the 106 when its back,we'll see!
when is this new engine going in

I was ogling it for about half hour, just walking round it, mouth open. Proper engineering, I fucking love it
Hope to see you at silverstone, I'll say hello if you're there. I'll be the drooling one

Good to hear that (obviously about the handling, not the diff mount), really hope it comes together for you this year. The cars certainly got the minerals! Any 1/4 times so far?

The Ferrari was timed at 41.3, obliterated everything and was amazing to see

Is there actually a race series that exists where you would get properly challenged?
