Good luck to Andy, his driving skills mixed with new engine and box should see him really shifting well.
As said above, the Bogey is also there and should be quick once Simon is up to pace with it.
Love this pic of it:
Wish I was there to watch them both competing against the rest.

Shame, though I'm sure all the cars will have their first run gremlins or niggles to sort.
At least Andy is familiar with the power and drive of the old motor, and it wasn't slow anyway.
Means he'll only get quicker and quicker in each event as they come along.

Where can you see the back of the car in those photos? They are all from the front?
Do you have one of the back?

Yep, looks a little poo, but serves a purpose.
The aero pack is a Voltex kit, and has actually been tested in a wind tunnel in Japan. Actually works rather than some wings / kits people use untested.
Simon's car is quick enough power wise to need help getting round the corners at the same rate as down the straights.

Chances in a race with a little bit of close competition they might end up getting knocked off

good luck AG, and that EVO looks "purposeful". Bloody messy with the canards and wings etc but necessary

Knockhill racing a day after Time Attack? Proper commitment there. Reminds me of Croft, throwing it around sideways, the day before racing up there!
Full credit to him, he uses the car like it was built for!

I expect you're right, given he has a 240 bhp Transit to tow home from Oulton, Cheshire to Scotland, that's what a 30 min drive?
So yep, diff should be done by now
