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

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

Non IRS rear end.

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

Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!
