Guys,
a some of you might know I sold my Tornado this year (pics below) to a guy here around the corner who is a professional race-driver. He owns around 12-14 vintage cars, many of them are raced by him, including 24h race on Nuerburgring. Including Porsche 911, Jaguar MKII convertible, Triumph, Mercedes, Renault Alpine 110 ( both FIA approved) and many more....
He knows exactly what he is doing, so please no questions about this.
I did build a stronger engine for him with around 400HP and after the break in period he drove the car several times around the GP track on Nuerburgring ( the track F1 cars race) and the car was behaving O.K. ( saying O.K. not good ). Yesterday he was about to drive the old circuit on the ring ....and right at the carrousel (kind of a steep turn, a bit bumpy) ....see what happened ...the right control arm gave up under load ....any other part I would say nothing, but this is more then just "ok....this sucks", this is unreasonably dangerous, could kill you and others, or best case just cost you a lot of money ...However ...it is far away from being a professional design, not even over engineered for safety.
The part is a complete faulty design and wrong choice of material. Just wrong and weak ...
