Great stuff Iain. Can't wait for the incar race footage. Here's the link to the Eastern Creek practice

BTW, out of interest, do you know what your designed wheel rate is?

Thanks for that Iain.
My project slowed for a few months due to having to attend to a few non GT40 issues. Now back under way with a vengeance! Will update progress on my build thread shortly.
Your car looks, goes, and sounds fantastic. You must be pleased to finally turn the wheels in anger :thumbsup: Now we're all looking forward to your race reports

Hey Ian, we popped by your "shop" the other day to pick up some wheels for which I really appreciate and you will be suitably rewarded.
After some small chat, Mick dragged us out back to check out "the race car", a couple of hours passed as we re engineered everything -- for your benefit, to meet Queensland standards? -- bugger, I can't keep a straight face anymore.:laugh:
Yes folks, this is a well engineered racing weapon -- under the guise of a classic GT40 --a very high bar has been set!
Lucky for you we had some time constraints otherwise we'd be still there,
Mick was a champion and we were in awe.

Two hours, you did well ! If talking were an Olympic sport Mick would be a triple gold medalsit. As it is he has to be satisfied with being an excellent engineer. It has all paid off, we have tried a few alterations to the set up as it came "out of the box" but quite frankly we really havent changed much which speaks volumes for his expertise.
Hope you had a good week end when it dried out at Wakefeild Park,
Iain

Test day # 2
We had a fairly full test day a couple of weeks ago and despite my best attempts I have not found the time to assemble a consise video of the best bits, so if you can forgive the unedited version it is now on youtube, once again if the more technically competant members can help with creating the link ..... thanks

Here you go

Car looks nice and controllable. You weren't pussy footing around!
Love the sound of the close ratios with that VGC tranny.

Haha! Don't give me a hard time! It's nearly midnight here and I've just knocked off. We'll get to the race meeting for sure. Mightn't get much testing in before hand though.... And may have to skimp on some of the cosmetics. Ruapuna are still dicking me around with my entry, that's more the problem...
When's your first race? I can't wait to see your first real action footage. :thumbsup:
Did you ever find out those wheel rates?

Your'e making the straight seem very short Lain. Has someone dropped grease on your rear wheels?:laugh: Only joking of course. I agree with Russ we want to see it in anger now. You made those other cars on the track with you, look pretty ordinary.
