Porsche Cayman S Race Car

Clio 172
I like your train of thought there Pete, and Fred did get his race license again this year.
Didn't know Sam was German...interesting....
He is rather excitable.
sounds like fred!
So the cage is going in, next step is to drop it through the floor than the air jack tubes can go in. Aiming to be in the paint shop Thursday.
We are getting slightly worried because the KWs are taking longer than expected so are the wheels. Aiming to be out test in 3 weeks.

Nice weld.
MMMMMMMM lovely bit of tig 
Won't be bothering as we'd need to drill holes in the cage to let the acid drain and weld them back up. Whole car is getting a blow over in white with a more professional finish on the exterior bodywork.
I must say the welding is top notch, one of the reasons we chose SVP to do the prep work.

I like their bank accounts.
Yes, funnily enough.
The car gets back from paint later today with the aim of it being plumbed and wired by next week. The cage took a week longer to get in than expected but the workmanship is very high. All the suspension components have arrived apart from the KWs, the build date for them is 12th I believe.
Aim data logger and camera are sat on my desk ready to go, diff is all but ready, so is the engine.
Perreli have devlivers some tyres though
We popped along to the first PCGB meeting last Saturday at Donington Park, the racing was very close and as a result we can't wait to get out there!!! Especially watching the Boxsters taking the fight to the 911s, turns out after 15minutes their rear tyres go off, nicely offsetting their power advantage
Air Jack tubes in ready for the jacks and plumbing.

Rear
Looking at Cayman R bumpers and Rear Spoiler to go.
Dad and I prefer the longer races that require two or more drivers. We have come to an arrangement that he will compete in the PCGB championship and I will do GT Cup which involves two sprint races and a 45 minute two driver event. Testing is all booked and the races entries have been sent in. To say we are excited in an understatement!

This is the first year PCGB have used slicks so it’s a massive learning curve for everyone. The 911s are allowed 320bhp compared to the 260 of the boxsters, as the race progresses the rears on the 911 go off (lose grip) and this allows the less powerful boxsters to start nipping at their heels.
Rear engined and more powerful so they are working the tyre harder than the less power mid engined cars.

I thought you were his Dad.

They are on FB too.
Testing in two weeks and racing in 3.
I'm heading down later this week so will get some more pictures, the car is plumbed and wired. Team Dynamics are yet to deliver the wheels annoyingly, 2 weeks late so far!

Where will you be testing Sam? What brakes can you run on these?
We are undecided on what to race it in. The plan is to get the first two races under our belts then decided what to do with it. One Championship dictates standard calipers the others are pretty much free.
Testing at Oulton then Brands
Its finally going together!!!!!!!!
The car got back from paint on Monday night, the quality is tip top, still needs some final buffing but we'll worry about that when its running. For now though the Loom and coolant pipes are in along with all the brake lines. Data logger, camera and lap times will be in tomorrow along with the dash which is currently getting flocked.
KWs are getting shipped on Friday but still no bloody wheels!!!!
Air Jacks are in.
How long will it keep looking like this?
The boys are working really hard and doing a great job so far, they were making up carbon sheets for blanking the holes around the bulkheads today and finishing off a fiddly little job.
Cannot wait to get it out on track!

The workmanship on this is so crap, infact why dont you sell it to me it will save you spending anymore on this

LOL. Top work by the lads, can't fault it. I need stop researching squential gearboxs though......
