did it occur to anyone, that the M3W is meant to be driven.... but is not a racing vehicle? I agree the brakes are so-so..... but if you want racing brakes totally re-do it +1, I certainly would not want to go racing in a vehicle that turns like the Queen Mary! My MINI Cooper with modified suspension will run circles around my M3W. I still love driving the M3W.

Max said he was using Lancer brake pads when I spoke to him in Grindelwald.
Having said that his english is very limited and my french is non existent.

AlexKnoll, where are you based?
If you’re in UK you can race with the Morgan Three Wheeler Club. Message me if you want more information
Agree that the M3W is never going to be the best handling or fastest of race cars, but nonetheless, it is exciting and fantastic fun on the track. When you’re racing against other M3W’s and vintage Morgan Three Wheelers, it doesn’t matter that most 4 wheel cars would be setting faster lap times.
Three Wheeler Morgans with leather clad drivers and passengers are a unique spectacle at race venues and people do enjoy watching them race

Of course M3Ws aren't meant for racing, but we don't do these things because it's what they're meant for, it's because it's fun!
On the track I'm only racing against myself. Where I live, curved roads are few and far between so the track is a blast for shaking down the 3 Wheeler. Chasing fun rather than lap times is a good time.
@WarBird I'm in the USA unfortunately! Seeing a horde of these on track would be hilarious. I was messing around on the track from things ranging from Miata-based racers to a Porsche 918, and I don't think any upgrades would necessarily help keep up with them, but some better brakes would at least keep me on track without having to pit for at least a few more laps before I get too exhausted throwing it around.
