As I'm facing up to the fact it may take me a while longer to complete my car I was wondering if there is another simple "interim" project I could do. I did think about making my 8wk old a landrover but seem to have settled on / been intriged by gravity racing. There are a couple of hills in the uk where people get up to 70mph (the one in scotland is two miles long).

Does anyone have any experience?
Does anyone know anyone who does it?

Does anyone know any way to stop me doodling in meetings random ideas including tennis ball based suspension!!!!

Take a look at this link.

cheap and small - not gravity though.

Tennis Ball suspension! have you been looking at too many MkIII moulton bikes?

The engineering design company I work for where involved in gravity racing a few ago. We supported a project as an exercise for our university students on placement with us.
The car has developed over the years and is now, I believe, used as a template in many schools / colleges as a base design for students.

Most recent pic of car below.
