Alford sprint 12/07/15 will hopefully be its first time out Clark (entry already in the post to Peggy).

I intend to do a handful of Scottish event this year and then concentrate more on the British Sprint Championship next year and then back to single seater 2017 or 2018.

All of the above very much depends on the oil price of course. :(

I went down to collect the R500 through the week.

Drove it from Crawley to Aberdeen via North Wales. Lots of stories. Nothing bad happened.

I'm very pleased with the car.

Popped out to collect a curry this evening ...

That was quite a detour after missing the entrance to the curry house when you first drove over the bridge ;-)

Eric,

The next time out if you turn left at 2:11, then that's a good shortcut. Your curry should still be hot then. :lol:

Only joking, car looks good.

Yes Ross, ... windscreen for road; aeroscreen for track.

Following your advice, I managed to do a deal on a carbon interchangeable aeroscreen kit.

Thanks for that. Image

Nice one Eric.

Aero gives you so much more peripheral vision and allows you to plant the car closer an ideal line. I put up with the inconvenience for the purity :roll:

How are you enjoying the sequential gearbox ?

Very glad to hear that mister :thumbsup

I only put my windscreen on at MOT time - hated it cos it facilitated all the funny noises which miraculously disappeared when aero'd :mrgreen:

Come to think of it, I can't recall my reasoning for MOTing with the windbreak...as the rear view mirror would fall off :blackeye
