Caterham Academy 2004

Blatting, starter button and other stuff

Again, sorry for such a delay without any updates. There are some other things going on which are taking up a lot of time at the moment.

Only up to 300 miles so there's still a way to go. I try to get out fairly often but it is just so cold at the moment that I find it difficult to do more than about 50 miles at a time! I've decided now that for racing I'm going to go with half doors which I think are a good balance between visibility, aerodynamics and protection from flying stones. I'm also going with a tonneau and passenger seat but have noticed that there's no reinforcing struts on the passenger floor. I've mailed Tech Help to ask them whether I can retro-fit some easily as the other cars I've seen have a L shaped alu strip already fitted.

Here some pictures of the finished car again (with plates this time):

I've finally fitted a Big Red Starter Button which looks, and feels great! It should mean that if I do stall on the track I can at least start the car easily.

My main priority now is getting the car set up as quickly as possible. I've got a couple of places to try calling.....
