The Other Ginger Chariot
So last week I finally got out testing in the race car i have been building for the last 3 odd years. Its been frustrating to say the least but very happy with the final product.
Wasnt without drama, breaking a gear linkage, and throttle getting stuck open in the second session. Scrutineers have also given my plenty to tinker with before my first race in August, and there are a few things I'll need to improve (quicker rack, better pads, suspension tweeks) As a quick spec she is running a 1.8t with approx 300hp @ 950 kilos. Anyway, some pictures; Any a video of the first few laps, (not really at pace, was really nervous something was going to drop of, and suspension was set to full soft so was a bit bouncy on the back of the circuit!! |
