Burpspeed Version 2: Race Car Build

- Start date

Don't know, it can't be the driver, that's for sure.
172 Race Car
raw talent!
It was built by a genius

Looks like an anagram to me.
Its past your bedtime
182cup & 172 racecar
It light the Tony's by 80kg iirc

Plus Ian can move in a car if he needs to, he's no slouch.
Is there a build thread? Would also like to know the spec.
Tony needs to lay off all those biscuits!

FG doors make a big difference.
I can't pass judgement on that..... ahem
Wow I can't see how a car could be that much lighter but that's impressive I'm still about 60kg's heavier than Tonys car so I'm miles off the weight of Ian's. Doesn't seem to matter as was all good fun and pretty close. I will just sort my geo issues and go again! Can't be bothered trying to get more power or loose more weight too expensive
Haha mine has still lost loads of weight over winter
More than I thought tbfCage, metal bonnet, all things that contribute to it being heavier.
Yes that's true Nick

Ian uses a higher quality wax allowing him to slide through the air easily. It's all in the detailing...
Simples! On a serious note, I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the folks off here racing around Mallory. I hope I can make at least one of the future events in way of support.

Was talking to Ian and that's what be said after being weighed after qualifying, best ask him what the exact dry weight was he did say that he's added 20kgs from the original build!

same question gets asked after almost every race. No he hasnt got a thread but its been discussed in here many, many times. Just a very well put together car concentrating on what makes a club race car fast.

Amen to that Ian. He and Jim Clark were the ultimate partnership.
I agree - Jim Clark never forced a car to do what it didn't want to do, super smooth driver, tragic loss.

What date Tony - I can come be a lacky if you like providing you don't make me pay £2.50 for a cup of s**t coffee?
182cup & 172 racecar
Test is on the Fri 30th Aug, race on Sat 31st Aug.
We don't charge for coffee, that's your fault.

Yeah I was gutted plus I didn't know we were eligible for access to Burpspeeds VIP hospitality area. Just checked the calendar and I've got an R26 in for belts and brakes that day so can't do the 30th but i'll come show my ginger mug and some support on the Saturday... really enjoyed the day at Mallory.
