Re: non Porsche vid of the day!
I designed, engineered & hand made every part of this car (less donor, but had to figure out how to integrate as much as possible to keep costs down for builders) & I've spent the last year turning my prototype into a production viable kit that is easy to assemble. The chassis has been fully scanned, digitalised and has been safety crash test simulated numerous times as well as tested for torsional twist forces. Designed & Built to MSA/Bluebook regulations we have agreed a whole new race series with the BRSCC. Production is now in full swing.
This video was made by me & my sons friend, James who is an young chap who's pretty handy with a camera.
Just one of several vehicles I've imagineered from scratch over lockdown (others to be released soon)
I hope you enjoy watching this Assembly Guide, which we purposely made just as you would if at home with simple hand tools (cept a days hire of an engine hoist) to keep it real

It's great to see the people and characters of a race meeting, not just an endless parade of cars, and so try and understand how it was and what the ambience was like.jwhillracer wrote:Brilliant! where did that half hour go?Hannibales wrote:A Hard Days Fright 1964 BRSCC

Re: non Porsche vid of the day!
Entertaining video, great for TV and down the pub.
What did it actually 'say'?
CH can drift like the best. Yep. Stig maybe too, but faster?
Video production really good.
Errr, what else?
The single seater is not one of this pack, belongs to a different field of cars imho, but any promotion is good promotion.
Very narrow market, but the 'ALFA with MX5 gear (brilliant imho) tested against some real examples would be very interesting indeed (to me) but few others I suspect.

Re: non Porsche vid of the day!
Thanks, its a promo video for this months TopGear magazine (out now), it really doesn't make sense at all, but its about the joy & diversity of some of this years new automotive offerings. I'm just chuffed to be a part of it & thought you guys would like the mix of cars on test including the electric 964 in there
