Yeah it's still available if that's what you want Bob. The wide track one is the 'XT' model. Going to the launch next week
so I'll take some pics.

I was just wondering as a friend of mine is building the narrow track version,he is wondering why the indy type track is now being used thats all.

I didn't realise the Indy was wider than the Velocity? I think it's purely to give the builder more choice - a mid point between the
standard track Velocity and the 'big all over' Viento. Apparently it handles better too but I guess I'll find out on Wednesday.

From what they told me when I visited the factory it is merely to eliminate the hassle of sourcing shortened Sierra driveshafts to fit the narrow
track Velocity, with the added spin-off bonus of improving the handling due to the wider track dimensions. Handy for me as it means I've got a
bit more cockpit room for my 6ft 5in 15 stone bulk!
