The car is far from pretty so negative comments don't bother me, just move over to the left when I come past

[Darcini]

Joe I would cut the carbon bits to follow the line of the alli diffuser paint the alli section and it will look slightly better

Fixed that for you

I was being positive ;-)

I'm all for being positive, but fcuk me, there's a limit

[ArticMonkey]

[NickB787]

You mean we have to drive it like a Turbo

I take it you don't intend to take the car on the road with that thing on the back, reminds me of those spikes they used to put on chariots
watch out pedestrians

[The Batman]

so it's ok to have the metal thing on every car but the cf bits are bad? I can live with that The cf bits are detachable

[JohnTurbo]

[The Batman]

Na I don't techie And I always said it will be that let's the car down but I will give it a good go Plus this is all fun to me, well most of the time

[Rally]

Joe, you have read the Blue Book haven't you?

[The Batman]

What's it say there? My car doesn't have to be MSA approved

[Rally]

So you haven't had to get an MSA license?

[The Batman]

Yeah but I dont have to be MSA approved there I don't need a cage or fia seats etc

[Rally]

Just like any event run under an MSA permit, you have to comply with Blue Book but since it covers everything from circuit racing to 12 cars, you have to know where to look. The SRs for the championship should spell out which bits you need to adhere to and which you can ignore. For example, J.5.2.7 says not aerodynamic devices except for very specific exceptions. I see that a lot of TA cars run wings so I guess the SRs allow it but you need to check or you'll spend all your time building something that you will risk having to take a hacksaw to at the first event to get through scruitineering. I've been in enough arguments with scrutineers to think it's worth asking the question now!

[The Batman]

Yeah will see what happens its all bolts or rivets etc anyway I got a feeling my splitter won't comply so we will see

[chris_uk]

its looking great mate i cant wait to see this driving round

[The Batman]

Cheers buddy

[Rally]

Actually, I've just found the TA SRs and it doesn't over rule J.5.2.7 at all so in theory all those cars running wings should fail scrutineering. In fact, the section on protecting their "Commercial Undertakings" is bigger than the section on protecting competitors. I guess you can do what you like then. Carry on!

[The Batman]

It's a wierd one bud I know your spoiler can't be larger than the width of your car So... I take it me and Chris and steve are the only ones that like it? It will be going black tomorrow
