As most of you are aware I have been building myself a race car out of an old MR2 ...
The Idea is to race in the Future Classics Race Series in Mondello
Check out their website
futureclassics.eu
Well it has not exactly gone totally to plan but we are nearing the end ..
As 1st race will be on the 15th March it better stop breaking parts soon ..
The car is the only MR2 on the grid and as its a turbo ... its in by invitation only ..
There is a barrier time of 1:09.5 and as it stands the car can easily do that so i need to slow down the car just enough but not 2 much ... not exactly an easy task when you take into consideration as I improve the times will increase and as the tyres wear the times will slow down ... but if its a really hot day that will effect the times etc ... 1/2 a second to play with is tricky .. but then traffic is another thing to think about and experienced race drivers ... They wont give me an inch ... GULP ...
At the moment the car has its head off and we are fitting new pistons and rings ... That's hopefully the last part of the engine I will have to replace ...
As it sits the car has an impressive spec and with a better driver than me would be capable of doing sub 1 min lap times ...
it would be nice to see someone else come out on the grid to race with me if anyone is up for it ........
