3 days to go!!!!!!!!!

That wing mount is totally mint!

The rear-most currently unused mounting holes, are they for additional support if required, or for mounting a low type drag racing spoiler?! (half kidding )

Sure is great having an engineering firm involved heavily in the build when it comes to pieces like the wing mount. Danny from A.D.E has done a great job designing and getting the mount made is such a limited time frame. The upper element is supported via turnbuckles in the center to eliminate the wing flexing down in the middle. Truely is a work of art. The whole car is really.

Edit, added pic.

looks like there is still lots of work to be done, will the car be finished?

[Martin HKS]

Sure is. Should be arriving in Sydney today. Didn't end up with sign writing and it's not been tested so will see how it's first shakedown run is on Thursday at the track.

Good luck to all involved.

Cheers

if you need some help getting decals made in sydney I might be able to sort you out.

Thanks Richard. I'll let the boys know. Mind you it looks very menacing with widebody carbon only..........

Here's hoping with over 600kw (800hp) at the wheels the carbon doesn't start flying off it down the straight. It has plenty of power down low (2200rpm) and even more through the top end. Just have to see how much speed the aero takes away.

We know there is no chance of winning the event until it has some more development but it will be good to see what it's like against the Mercury car.

the battle between you guys and the mercury car is shaping up to be the main show. too bad i'm stuck in the sand trap that is W.A but i'll be looking for updates over the net.

good luck and great work.

2 workshops within 100m of each other, build two of the best R35 GTRs in the country, then travel over 1000km's to thrash them for 3 days non-stop, against each other and the best time attack cars in the world. LOVING LIFE!!!

Life is funny isn't it - Good luck on your end too. Your statement should read as modified above though.

As echo'ed to 'MH' & the Mercury crew,

Good luck 'DC' and the GT Auto crew, have a safe trip there and back and enjoy yourselves...

Hope you have a ball and come back smiling...
