Last thing tonight, unless my friend Insomnia comes to visit again.

In order for us to all be singing off the same Nando’s menu, a few very simple objectives for this build

I want this to be a side project, if that is even possible.

It needs to be really simple and without fancy programming, machining and trick parts (all that is relative of course)

Easy to find parts and maintenance, using as much standard parts nd as much of what is on the car.

Low, rather than high.

As silly a power to mass ratio as one can get without sacrificing r3liability.

There is just no use in building some exotic car that’s always broken down or waiting for the next exotic parts.

All advice, help, guidance thankfully accepted.

This following car is not exactly what I want to build, but certainly my general direction.

Built for fun, to do the hill climb at RRG ‘18 in a short timeframe by a large team of friends and knowledgable chaps.

I have been chatting with @Phoenixcapri as well, he has given some advice and may be along with more.

Best one I've seen [/quote]

And from far away, these are probably in a different league altogether.

This is the idea.
