So, the only chance of some decent teams coming in next year to join the current shower of new boys is gone:

Pro Drive and Lola out

So that just leaves us!

Shall we give it a go?

(We have plenty of time, the date for 2011 applications closed today!)


Cheers,
James

Put your hand up to volunteer your skills.

I'll do the gearbox, I used to help build them (sort of) for Mclaren.

Anyone else?

James - 15/4/10 at 09:47 PM

Obviously it's BT for the brakes!
Malcolm to supply the engine!
I'm sure if FlakMonkey can handle MS he can manage the TAG ecu.

Anyone good with carbon? Triton?

I am quite good at "repairing" things with zip ties and elastic bands. Will that help?

Actually I could work inspection and NDT to be more use

Put me down for some sort of public relations work. I can make up excellent excuses for under performing in any situation. Especially in the bedroom.....

Just make sure the steering wheel is put on for me, thats far to much responsibility for me!

Im in. We could use the car being built in less than 24hrs with a few mods to make it FIA safe

Shotgun driving!!!

I hear that a guy that used to work for Torro Rosa is available. He makes some really light weight front uprights.

Agriv8 - 16/4/10 at 11:17 AM
