Dan’s car

How’s the noise in reality to the video? It sounds amazing but I know microphones have a habit of dulling loud stuff

Listen to it with earphones and turn the volume to the max and thats about right. Basically if you can't hear a person next to you shouting at the top of their voice you've got the full experience.

Awesome

[IanF]

Very, very cool and much respect for the mission motorsport work

Fantastic! Was it a proper review by Harris or just a taster to whet his appetite?

And is he shorter than me?

About the same I reckon

It was just a taster, he didn't have time to drive it as he was fully committed to other stuff, he driven up from london then night before from the Luca premiere and then headed straight back down there in the afternoon, but he interviewed me on camera and did a few bits with his meta specs which he's going to put out on his socials over the next week or so.

I also overtook him out on track in his yellow GT3

Fantastic Dan

Cool to find this at the end of a line of esprits at the Bicester Scramble on Sunday

It was very cool and low. very very low.

Nice pics, thank you!

Did we get to chat? I spoke to quite a few people during the day about the car, it was a fun day!

looks great in “real life” photos. the engine bay is VERY pretty.

No problem feel free to use them if it's ever helpful.

No, you weren't around when we came past. Although I am now having impure thoughts about what you could with my k series S2.

Thanks!

According to Chris Harris it looks very menacing coming up behind you on track too

[MikeHunt]

Looks like they needed to cut the grass shorter for a car this low

[dan]

It might be a bit low for the road, although the ground effect clearly works on track as i've ground the heads off the titanium bolts holding the front clam on, which must have created some cool looking sparks

[Nic]

Nice to meet you Dan, car was very cool. Everything about it looked very well engineered.

[dan]

Good to meet you too, nice to put a face to a name I’ve known for so many years!

[Broccers]

Amazing job

[dan]

I added a small additional titanium silencer into the system last week, weight penalty is only a couple of kilos so I can live with that and its taken a bit of the rasp out of the exhaust note which will hopefully mean I won't get flagged for noise the next time I go to Donington.



It sounds different from outside from what I can tell. Inside the car its made absolute no difference as the experience is dominated by gearbox noise and induction noise. Its still a ridiculous car to drive on the road, so effortlessly quick its way too easy to be well into license losing territory a couple of seconds after you touch the throttle. 4th gear is good for 120mph, just saying.

Fabulous trackday at silverstone this week despite pretty nasty weather, only 2 red flags all day and one was only for a breakdown on the pit exit. Conditions were treacherous but driving standards were excellent.

I was hoping for a bit of dry weather to see if I could vmax the car down the hangar straight, it turned out to be so slippy I couldn't use full throttle until the top of 4th gear in a straight line but I still saw a max of 144mph on the data, not bad considering I was lifting early enough to coast into stowe :lol

[jamcg]

Looks great fun, is it a handful to push along in the wet?

[mik]

Looks fun but simultaneously frustrating

What is VMax? Around 153mph?

(I was quickly (roughly) calculating your gearing - assuming your telemetry is accurate - 13mph/krpm in 4th, 14.8mph/krpm in 5th, 17mph/krpm in 6th : that's pretty sprinty ratios )

God, I look forward to seeing it on a dry track. Is the Chris Harris review going to wait for spring now?
