I wonder how long it would take to suck all the air out of the cabin if he were to close the sunroof and windows :D

Bill, May I suggest an early morning run (EMR) on a Sunday morning before we hit the Christmas break? An EMR is where we all meet at a location at say 9:30am on a Sunday, drive through some great winding country roads to a nice pub, have an early lunch (and a chin wag) then be back home by...

Rick, I’m not surprised to hear that you have different handling characteristics having discovered for myself that the car is very responsive to variations in setup. If you read the thread on rear-end geometry (as directed in Clayton’s original post) you’ll find that the consensus there is that...

I too was hoping that there would be more people chiming in, but to avoid making this post a total orphan I'll post my limited contribution. As I see it, the front end does not seem to be a problem. That's not to say that there is no benefit in performing some sort of advanced analysis. I've...

That's not a crooked picture. The Queenstown region is very popular with the downhill skiers and that lake has been deliberately tilted for water skiing in the summer ;)

OK Russ. I won't make this a competition. I recon NZ is pretty good too :) In fact this pic has been on my desktop for a while now. It's a snap-shot I took while in NZ a few months ago (just north of Queenstown on the west coast).

It’s a balmy evening in Melbourne after a warm 36C day… and last week we had snow in the outlying hills. As we Melbournians like to say, if you don't like the weather here, just wait a minute ;) Tim, Did you say you were moving from the most beautiful area of the world? So how much do you...

Drive over them at about 250km/h in your GT40. About 3 runs should do the job :D

I wasn’t aware of the finer points of the rules so thanks for pointing it out Mark. Rules are rules and any unfair advantage should be considered whenever imparting praise. But did I understand Pescarolo’s gripe correctly? It seems to me that Pescarolo is not so much complaining that the...

Lucas, I made a similar comment in thread... http://www.gt40s.com/forum/all-gt40/19615-making-your-own-chassis-unique-gt40s.html?highlight=787b Also I attached the extended version of that same video. One of the reasons I like this car so much (apart from the looks) is that they dared to be...

I'm having the same problem with the bump steer thread but I believed my error message when it told me that it was my cache administrator :( Anyway, I was never really sure how to measure rear castor. Is it along the plane of the reverse-a-arm or do you use an imaginary line drawn vertically...

My rear suspension findings. I think my approach is slightly different to Ross’s so the figures should also be different in the final wash. My starting point however was to listen very closely to everything people had to say (Ross and Will have put in some serious thought into their solution)...

Chris, Here are some conclusions I've made in my investigations, and I am not at all claiming to have any qualifications in this area at all, but I feel I can analyze things well enough to satisfy my own curiosity. The "all wrong" comment is both true and false. All wrong, yes, by modern...

I must be driving a different RF40 to everyone else ;) I can’t agree that the handling is that bad at all. In fact I would go as far as to say that it is very good as a road car. I’ve been progressively tweaking the handling of my car at each race meeting and each time I have found another small...

Jac, That is some very impressive bodywork there. I guess it proves that I'm not the only person in the world crazy enough to want to build one. I guess it also proves that there are some other scratch builds around other than GT40s. FYI. If I'm not mistaken that body is based on the 767B which...
