Despite a gallant attempt by Ross Nicol and the staff at Roaring Forties to prepare his RF40 racecar for this weekend’s round of the state championship, the decision was made to delay the entry after it had become obvious that the racecar would not be completed in time to the satisfaction of all concerned.

However, the efforts of all involved was not totally wasted when it was decided that the car should still make an appearance at the Phillip Island Race Track, even though it would only be as part of a static car display. This would (if nothing else) have the effect of getting some concerned chins wagging amongst the leading championship contenders.

The next round of the Sports Car championship will be held at Sandown Raceway in three weeks time. Expectations are high that the racecar will be ready for some serious competition by then. Let’s hope that Ross can put the cat up amongst the pigeons on that day.
