I hope this will be a well balanced car... I hope the aerodynamic will do it´s thing... the diff is frome a DTM car whith a 80% lookup...

You never know if it will work until it´s done... bur I hope it will...

Damn.... CF looks amazing!

I thought my project was detailed! You are raising the bar, my friend....

So, not sure if anyone has already asked this, but are you planning on painting the car? Graphics?

I'm presuming that you plan on having the car at the track frequently - there are a number of VERY creative people following thing this build - maybe you should call upon them?

Visit

Mate

once a year we are doing test rides at "arctic falls" (look at google).
Sometimes I go there by car and we use the ferry between Kiel and Gothenburg (this year in november).
If I do so next year, I would like to inform you before and do a short visit at your workshop.

But I need to check this with my colleagues before.

Would this be ok with you?

Regards,
Oliver

P.S. This is me... in your country... http://www.flickr.com/photos/19723990@N03/3086084075/
