Finally got the Furore out on track!
Well it's been a long time since I took the first production Furore F1 out on track, that was back in 2009 just b4 driving the car to Le Mans
& was a very basic 4AGE engined car. For all sorts of reasons & pressures I simply don't seem to have found the time to get any of the
ZZR1400 engined cars out on track - until now.
So finally some onboard video of the car in action last w/e, I should have some further video coming from the trackside, but waiting on someone else
to see that myself. Hope you find it worth a look - make sure you have the volume up!!!
There are 2 videos on my Facebook page (while you're there please "like" us - get me over the 100 likes!), make sure you look a
little further down the page for a pic of how it looked when we unloaded the car in the morning! It was a tad chilly!
The videos aren't monetised so no annoying adverts

& also on YouTube if you prefer

Like many things that just sort of stalled last year, but Alan at AGM Sportscars is working on it at the moment & I hope to have some pics
available soon.
Re the batteries, all the Li battery prices have come down a bit recently, typically by around 5%, so they are a bit cheaper than they were &
unlikely to change again in the very near future at least.

It's a small airfield circuit, I'm not aware of it being open for public trackdays - it would be too small for many cars on track at once
- it's near Bourne End, Hemel Hempsted operated by VIP Supercar Experience if anyone fancies a
run in Lambo Gallardo, Audi R8 & shortly a Ferrari (don't know which one) I can probably get you a discount - it's usually around £130
for 3 laps in each of the above (9 laps in 3 different cars)

Nice!
The airfield (bovingdon) is just up the road from me, had a drifting day there last week!
It's too small really for track days , which is a shame , but it would be good as a test track or for sprints.

There is a possibility the circuit may be extended, but no idea how certain that is, or when.
For me it was a great shakedown of the car, whilst still setup in full road trim (4.5" ground clearance!) & a chance for a few people to
sample the passenger experience.
I've now added a 3rd & last video, visibly quicker on a dry track & knowing the circuit a bit better!

I seem to recall a Autosolo being done their before.
Googling birings up few hits so it must be used for grass roots stuff. Not quite trackday speeds though.

See www.essexkitcarclub.com we meet last Sunday of the month, so you've just missed this months, next one would normally be 31st Mar, but a few
of us are going down to Brands for the Touring Cars, so I think it may be pulled forward a week to 24th, bjut info will be on the website in due
course.
Re, the idea of "run your own kitcar" at the circuit, as I say it's not big enough for loads of cars on track at any one time, but
if you're happy to do 3 lap sessions, then 3 laps to cool off for the Supercar runs & possibly a further 3 laps for hot passenger laps in
either the Furore, Ktm Xbow or Atom & then a further 3 laps then it's a possibility I could suggest to the organisers - it would have to be
limited to very small no.'s tho'
