The weather forecast says rain all day on practice day and it did ---- except for nearly 15 minutes where we snuck in a couple of maiden laps --on to the track first lap and promptly did a 360° on turn 2 then turn 3 likewise at turn 4 also turn 5 --so much for hard bald tyres in the wet --kind of embarrassing but fun --then discovered instruments not functioning --replace fuse, wriggle some wires and all is good for the mo. Engine not 100% happy, carb not tuned properly yet --couple more tentative laps, call it quits and by this time its fairly bucketing down --so much for the christening.
Although not properly tested, the brakes seem to be very good, clutch and gear changing all good -(once the mind acknowledged the right hand shifter) Ratios seem to be OK --will know more about that when we're able to drive "flat out !"
Driving in reverse is impossible without side mirrors.
At 950 kg total its already heaps quicker than the GT40 :worried:
Get the motor tuned, give the body a polish, apply many stickers, new tyres , tech inspection for log book and we're into it in a couple months when the new season starts
