I just had a great day at Castle Combe. Williams Sportscars organised the day and there was a good bunch of people many of whom I had met before.
Anyway, the Ultima was out and as usual many people ask for a ride. I took about 10 people out on passenger laps. One said he wanted to marry the car :-* A spectator timed a lap at 1.09 :o. You hit 105 (change into 4th) half way down the pit wall and 160 just before Avon rise. What is for sure is the car flatters the driver.
I need to find some trackday tyres for the car as the street tyres go off quite quickly and it needs some anti roll bars. I also need to experiment with the damper settings.
I am going to Complete Kit Cars day at brands on 21 November and if it is dry maybe some track time. I am very addicted ;)
I am gutted I couldn't get there today, would have loved a ride in the Ultima.
1:09 is a stupid quick laptime and 160mph coming towards Avon Rise is just mental!!! SCAAAAARY!!!! :o :o :o
You car is a definite league above ours. 8)
So a few questions for you = When do we get to see it?
What is the prise range of these cars?

I am lucky that my brother shares my interest in cars and so we share a couple of cars and the costs. It halves the craziness :D. It is still a kit car and there are some great cars in this club. All of them are fun and offer challenges round the Castle Combe or even on the road.
The answers: I took it to Avenue Drivers in July but have not been about for meets since. I might make Novembers met but not sure what I will be in.
The factory quoted us £110,000 for a factory built car. But you can find them for £30,000 dependent on the spec.
The are always cars on Pistonheads.
Haha I haven't got any money left I spent it all on cars.
Fair play. ;D
