Iv been a massive fan for since being a kid and a bit of a techno geek but always amazed by stuff like that. Though my kit was packaged tightly!

Thats is brilliant. I never knew the seating position was like that..

What is interesting is (as we all know), there is no chassis... but just how thin the monocoque is is quite amazing.

Very interesting, good post, I was surprised how high the drivers legs are in the cockpit when he was sat in the driving position, also the size and location of the fuel tank behind the driver

Likewise - Very surprised at the drivers seating position.

Emailed this to myself at home (couldnt see it at work) and have only just dug it out, as you say, would be nice to have a really good look over it, i presume its available for viewing at the HQ in some form or other, maybe touring to a degree. Certainly a nice piece of work.
