He sure is Baron, and many other guys are working overtime to make this happen. so much to do to get this thing ready in time. I fear time for testing is going to be minimal.

whilst acknowledging the work everyone is doing I would like to give a plug to Scott Beeton, he has an MSc in Aerodynamics, Bach in mechanical engineering, experience with the Williams F1 team and other motorsport applications and has recently started his own Aero consultancy. He is working hard running various aero configurations in CFD for the build. Thanks Scott!

This is something I really hope you share with us!!

Would be really interesting to see what they come up with and the reasoning behind such designs.

Just make sure you don't put a s after design in the web address, comes up with a furniture company!

And its ugly furniture too!

Certainly would love to hear what rules Scotts applying to the mesh when getting the basic flow and then what control equaeven just a simplified explanation of which one he uses for different areas.

Sounds like somebody SAU should try to arrange as a special speaker at a members meeting

gusseting and rear strut bracing

Why bother with a roll cage at all ?

If you roll this baby, do you really want to live afterwards?

I wouldn't.

Very much looking forward to the completion and seeing it in action.

This car will be one of a kind...

There's other benefits of a cage too bro!

higher structural rigidity = more predictable handling + more responsive steering etc..

Think thats the whole point of the cage, so he CAN live afterwards

[jay-rod]

Hes saying if i rolled that, i wouldnt want to live....lol.

[MercuryMotorsport]

dont get me wrong, it is (or is going to be) an amazing car, but I definitely wouldnt want to be dead if I smashed it. Well, only if I was driving and it was Mark's car.

[greensa14]

Struth!!

Not only is the most extensive work i have seen on a 35 it is almost the most extensive biuld i have seen. Props man. You are def going all out.

[handbrake]

thanks!

the first of a car full of carbon panels being sized up

all the carbon parts now coming in

boot lid 2 kg, looks so pretty, shame it is to be chopped up for the uprights!

[Johny Bravo]

I'm really looking forward to seeing this completed. Do you have any power figures in mind? Also, i would pay money just to sit in this car. Seriously i would.

[druzilla32]

[Johny Bravo]
