This car won it's class in the second of its two races at Donington on Sunday.......very impressive.
I drove her there 10 days ago and she was a dream with so much potential.
I can see myself in one for the 2015 season!!

What kind of chassis, classic or new PLUS 8? Classic chassis CBY. Underneath lurks a 3.7 Roadster with bits! The doorless look is really a styling exercise to make it a bit different. It perhaps makes the body tub a bit stiffer but then it has a full roll bar set up with side bars which must stiffen up the chassis nicely. I missed its second successful race sadly, saw the accident in the first corner in the first race which took Greg off .....a matter of him just being in the wrong place at the wrong time but it was going very well indeed in practice. Superb car!

Lovely but like my Roadster with no stability control it requires full concencentration not to loose it.
Will be interesting to see if the model takes off

My Mulfab survived Jersey but it was stressfull My standard Roadster also survived Jersey but it as certainly stressful. The Mulfab one goes on when the car is serviced. I suspect a dry sump option could be done, but it will not be cheap.... This is a link to a thread back in 2010 Roadster Sump Worth a read.

I have the Mulfab sump but even so the gearbox bell housing is still quite low & our local guide led us down a narrow rutted lane to a great sea view. So the stress was high

I may well be sourcing a Tufnell sheet to throw underneath depending how close things get I may even throw my bullet cam under the Roadster to see the danger points

Looks like the cross member, sump seems OK. A camera under the car: could be VERY scary
