Ariel Race Team article in Autocar

[Bruce Fielding]

There's a six page feature on the new Ariel Race Team in this week's Autocar.

So, what will this mean to us owners? Delays whilst race bits are built and cars fixed? Or will, as Simon says, "racing improve the breed'?

See the Ariel website for more on the team and the race series.

...and just noticed that Simon is the subject of the 20 Questions section!

example:
What's in your car stereo right now?
Rolling Stones, Exile on Main Street
Robert Johnson, Delta Blues

ironic quote:
What would you like them to write on your gravestone?
I haven't finished yet.

...we know, Simon - that's what we owners are for

Hi,
I have subscribed to Evo and Car but not Autocar...
If someone can spend some time to send a copy to me, many thanks.
In Evo of june you have two pages on a test of the new supercharged Atom.

Thanks for letting us know about that Bruce - picked up a copy yesterday. Great article - certainly won't do Ariel any harm at all.

I'll have to look at the details on that race series - quite fancy doing that someday.

Cheers, Ross.

...and did you see the PH stickers on the Caterham they were racing against? No, I didn't until someone pointed them out

Thanks again for pointing that one out Bruce.

[quote]Ariel has bolted a Jackson Racing supercharger onto a 1796cc Honda Civic Type-R engine[/quote]

I guess that's just a mistake...

Another good write up though, but seems a bit unfair putting the supercharged version against the Westfield.

The engine was the supercharged 2.0L Type R, not 1.8L (Simon had confirmed that to me).
