Been using this electric fan for a number of years. Main use is when stuck on the dummy grid for ages in mid summer, pointed straight at the front of my helmet. Screwed onto the door capping and with a two speed controller above the clock, just in reach when belted in.

I find I get enough air through the standard dash vent when racing, although with all the protective gear on, I still get warm.

Very nice.

How long do you think it will take to build up, will it be on the road this year?

Unique has to be the word for this, so many aspects have not only developed but developed and engineered to make what is going to be an incredible car, quite the ambassador for the marque.

Not only an amazing car but a feat of engineering. Brilliant.

And thank you for the update, I've missed 'em. This thread, Neil's trackday monster, Tony's beautifully crafted rebirth of an old legend and Pete's tinkering¹ keep me coming back here. Not to forget of course Mart and Mary keep turning them out like clockwork².


¹ If that is Pete's idea of tinkering what on earth does serious work look like?
² By clockwork I mean to say superbly balanced Swiss engineered perfection, natch.
