BPM's cup racer

[obes]

Thought id post a quick update as it's been a busy couple of months!
Firstly, the livery is on and we've now added some mods for the 24hr.
Some big lazerlamp leds at the front and a piggyback tank to boost the range.
Here's a few pics from earlier in the week at Silverstone.

First competitive outing is in the Dunlop Britcar 24hr at Silverstone on 24/25/26th April.
Great event as a rule - if anyonei s going make sure you come and say hello - garage 0, next to race control.

Saw this at the 24 hour race. Lovely car and was making decent progress! Me and my Dad were gutted when we woke up from a few hours sleep to notice it missing. Is is salvagable?

Looking forward to hearing how the car is. What happened at the 24hr race?

 

[obes]

Yep, we were running nicely - particularly when the rain came - 2nd fastest car on track!
Unfortunately it all went belly up at about 4am..

Came off at maggotts and hit the wall. Ripped the engine out and generally destroyed the front! Driver was in the medical centre for while, but other than some tweaked gentleman potatoes he was OK!

There were some nice pics taken though!

Happy days mate. The car looks so aggressive. Class act is what it is,happy to hear it will be back.

Good news. 12 hours of racing must have taught you quite a bit about the car, even if it ended abruptly. It sounds like you have a good wet set-up, but are you happy with your pace in the dry?

Well, we're all but back together!
Just waiting for the new engine to land and we're done.
Have just posted over in the events section.
Next outing will be at Goodwood - we're running it up the hill at the FOS as Seat's entry in the modern touring car class.
Can't wait!

Happy, yes but there's certainly more to come. It's difficult to get a true comparison as we never ran the car in cup spec on cup tyres unfortunately.
Lot's of data gained though, so we will definitely have an upturn in dry pace before Barcelona.
