Race Car Development  Latest update October '05
This year we have decided to build our own Mk 1 Elise Race Car which we aim to have up and running by the middle of next year.  We thought it would be a bit of fun and we intend to compete  in Hill Climbs, Track Days and Sprints.

Over the next few months we will update this page as we progress, so if you would like your Elise to be upgraded - watch this space !
This is the full spec. of the car for now ;-
Carbon Fibre rear clam shell
Exige front clam shell
2 Sets of 16/17 inch O.Z. Split Rim alloy wheels
Yokohama Racing Slicks and Wets

So far it looks more like this ....but as we build we will update this regularly with pictures and news of any more modifications on our car.
