If only they had mudguards these look like great fun

280 bhp
Thin tyres
bk removing gearstick
Exhaust to burn your leg on
Very short wheelbase
Possibly on cross ply tyres

Love it

This was Tom Wheatcroft's brainchild, wasn't it?

Surely wouldn't take too much effort to add mudguards so it could be used on normal track days.

That power, such short wheel base, cross-plys I would certainly crash & die if I lapped it, in fact I've died twice just from looking at it! wink

I was all for this until I seen that gear stick. How does that work then?

Make sure you get those belts nice and tight less you end up leaving your nuts dangling.

Pedal layout looks, um, challenging?!
I'd love to have a go though smile

Drivetrain / gear lever / pedals arrangement would be immediately familiar to an early front engined Grand Prix or formula junior racing driver. I have to say, aside from the obvious risk of getting the gear lever in your nads, there is also a propshaft spinning at 8,000rpm between your legs.
