Do you have any restriction on Aerodynamics in your class?

yeah i shall be there, just hope its dry coz the cars crap in the wet! at Combe i hit over 140mph and with semi-slicks and standing water you can hear my bottle rattling over the exhaust note! if you pop along come over and say hello.
yeah the aero is governed by the MSAs Modified Production regs, so not a lot of leeway. basically you cant do anything more above the centreline of the wheel nuts , but im working on a few bits for next season already

That's fair comment, the start and finish "straight" is bad enough in the dry let alone when you've got puddles to contend with. At least the field should have been harvested by machines other than cherished racing cars by now so if the worse happens then at least you could find your way out!

I'll defo come and find you on the day as it'd be nice to put a face to the name and finally see your car in the flesh!

Silly MSA, they are always spoiling peoples fun! Looking forward to seeing the car develop over the winter already

car nor face are pretty mate both are showing a few miles and battle scars lol

Mod Prod is reasonably restrictive re aero, but Sports Libre is much more liberal but then you have to fight with single seaters and GT cars (V8 darrian etc etc) better to stick where i am i reckon lol

tyres are shagged (only last a season) so just dont want standing water, or else its hello gravel trap...
