Wonder what the build cost is looks fantastic. Not a BEC then?

Met the guy who builds them at cadwell earlier on this year. Duratec engines and chain chain drive. Its quite pretty. He has a mailing list. He said to join up and they will mail you when the pricing is available

We race against them in 750, very tidy cars although I get the impression they built 5 but don't plan on selling them

It's the two guys hobbies not business

Yes the chain chain drive is very novel

Why a chain drive?

It's because they utilise standard gearbox and keep it mid engined rather than rear

Thanks for the replies chaps!

I have to say that I really like them.

Non IRS rear end.

Looks smart though. Their website states they are going to release a kit price
