Went over to MK on saturday, first time I have delt with them.
Was like poppin down to your mates, everybody was so friendly. Anyway the GT1 was outside and spent a long time crawling all over it.
Liked everything about it (except for the ali vents screwed on the front wings).Not sure what you get for your 3 1/2k but as cheap as it may look(the price not the car) I will have a completed bec on the road for less!

PS If I could afford one, I'd have one!!

I think www.totalkitcar.com are going to do a build series on it. That car definately needs a rear wing with that large front splitter. I hear it has a bit of a high speed oversteer problem because of the imbalance. However, I wouldn't let that worry you, either cut down the splitter or fit a wing and/or diffuser.

They did have a wing on it when I visited but its "still under development", as they are unhappy with the weight.

I knew they were working on a bunch of things including aero and suspension tweeks. Took a look at the web site and they now show the version with a rollbar and wing.
