A nice evolution of the GT1.
I'd like to see some bracing on the roll bar tho....

Seen it today, it looks wide.





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I definitely prefer the look of it to the GT1, a lot more professional looking. However, as some others mentioned, it looks like they gave up when they got to the back

One thing I will say is that you would never get me on a track with a non-braced rollbar like in the pictures. If there is any kind of horizontal force, that thing will fold like a pack of cards. Having seen someone decapitated in a professional SR2 car when it rolled, I can tell you it aint pretty. That’s why I will be having both forward and rearward braces on my car.

Looking at the layout, I am guessing that it will have a front mounted radiator(s) that vent out behind the rear wheels?

Saw it on Sunday. It was far from a finished car, more of a mock-up showing the body off. The rollbar was held in with rivets. So I'm guessing that there will be bracing on the finished car.
Nice looking motor though.
