It’s great, the feedback is so good you know when you do and don’t have grip and it’s very exciting spinning up the rears as the boost comes on in any gear around 5/6k rpm :P

You can see where the diffuser sends whatever is underneath the car. 8-) It's going to be an absolute weapon when you get it on track.

Thanks for sorting the photo Duncs

Here’s another of the back, do you think the diffuser increases the amount of dirt ending up on the back compared to a non-aero car?

I assume so, I don't know how long you were out, but not many cars would get that caked.

You need to work on your picture posting skills... you need to type: [img]paste-picture-url[/img].

Give it a try. ;)

Oooh yes. Very much.

Nice :). How many cars had to drive round your inexplicably abandoned “racing car” whilst you sprinted up the hill to tale the photo?

"Remortgage it and buy an orange McClaren" has now become go-to phrase between myself and my other half when discussing financing, life insurance, etc on our impending house purchase.
