full report on mnr facebook page , Had no testing before hand so car ran for the first time in qualifying. but short version is overheating in qualifying so just did the 3 laps to make sure i was on the grid. fixed overheating for race 1 made pretty good progress from 22nd then i made a mistake and kissed the barrier so retired. race 2 up to 8 / 9 after 4 laps from 22nd and fuel pump died .

Like the look of that.

But, I think it wants a shorter snout.

Doesn't the nose set it apart from all the other LMP's, that all look very similar?

Is that the car you've been working on with Austin?

Am I the onlyone who clicked on this expecting to see an old Hillman?

Looks good with those decals. Which chassis is it?

Yeah I did.

Happy with LMP instead though. Nice car.

I do like the LMP look and can see myself going for this style over another se7en one day.
