Hi Marc,
yes, I did it myself. And I fully agree with you; it was a once in a lifetime effort!!
Might I suggest you should also have the GRP company take a look at the rear section? Something like a diffusor to break up the square back-end would
be nice.

Hi we have been told that that car is not legible for 2007 as it was not registerd by MNR before april 2006. This came about when we had a current
driver from the serise asking if we could build him a v8 car. when we aproched the club to ask if we would be legible for 2007 whith a v8 thier reply
was that although we are registerd with a 4cyl we were not registerd whith a v8 before aprill 2006 so would not be legible for 2007.
So when i mentiond matts new car also not being on the final list of approved cars for 2007 we were told that it would not be racing in 2007 but if
registerd by MNR whith the club and passed before april 2007 it could race in 2008.
I would assume that matt would know this given his involment whith the club.
cheers matt
(edit) ps appologies for taking the thread of topic.
PPs april should have read 1st july.

Hi have spoken to R.knight and RTC who say that your cars were turned down for 2007 due to late entry but were over ruled by certain people where as
others wern't . As said people with friends. It makes the regs a bit of a joke.
cheers matt

understand the need to continually improve the design; that's what great QC is all about. I've looked long and hard at the new design and
have some questions and comments:
--the difficulty with judging any design, particularly one that moves, is that a photograph doesn't have the visual/spatial cues necessary. The
VortX is very low, it would be unusual to see it at the angle at which the photo is taken, so it's almost impossible to have an informed
opinion.
--it looks to me like one of the design goals was to smooth out the flow under the car, was lift or downforce one of the considerations in the new
design?
--the original nose seems to have less frontal area and a "smoother" shape, yet you said that the new shape is better in this regard. Can
you explain the differences?
It is very difficult to see the shape fully by picture as its has so many curves
the idea of the new nose was to be a bit more modern and to update the shape a little, the new nose is still available too
the new nose has less frontal area than the old will try to get a pic of the cars side by side to show ( weather permitting ) also is has a lower more
curved front top leading edge also has a flat bottom and slopes from top to bottom all this has moved away from the traditional style noses that in
some cases woulkd create lift
this combined with the new hardtop underway as we speak should give us a much slippier seven type car ready for our next high powered demo car
and its not bike engined 
we do have a bonnet scoop also to help with airflow around the engine
when i made the nose i knew it wouldnt be to everyones taste ( hence keeping the old shape available too ) but when i design / make updates / mods to
the car these are usually done from feedback from customers, performance enhancing, or just because they are my cars and i can
I have stopped going to most of the shows as i can honestly say that most of the cars that are exhibited at the moment are still the same as when i
first started this project three years ago, which is a real shame. Times are changing and so are customers criteria when they look for a car, and you
either take bold moves and go with the times or become stagnant and boring.
Over three years we have changed bodywork shape three times, bodywork manufacturer 4 times, chassis and geometry three times, we now have over 35 cnc
machined parts ( set to increase ) all in the quest of development and performance
It helps that my work is my love ( misses would say first love )
its not just a business to me, even being as busy as we are i still get involved with all the fabrication welding etc , on a daily basis
I have been very fortunate in finding a way to make a living doing what i love and also meeting some great people who have become good freinds along
the way, and hopefully next year with club events racing etc we should all have some great fun
best regards
marc
You really seem to be moving the seven design on.
I love the look of the new bodywork and and the chassis also seems to be evolving far further than any of the other manufacturers.
PS. can i come and work for you?
