chaseracer Posted February 13, 2022 Author Share Posted February 13, 2022 We are working toward a full season this year, starting with a test day at Cadwell Park in mid-March. No pressure, then.

tooSavvy Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 The guy who did my Cat back, on MrSavvy, told me he made the exhaust systems for "all the 2cv 24-hour cars".... Got the impression he was 'control specification' pipes across the grid? Advanced Automotive Systems Ltd, Newburn. Tyneside. chaseracer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaseracer Posted February 13, 2022 Author Share Posted February 13, 2022 Not sure where he gets that idea. Racing 2CV exhausts are free, in the sense that they are not defined in the series rules. As long as the system satisfies the MSA rulebook and passes the circuit noise tests, there are no restrictions. tooSavvy and richardmorris 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooSavvy Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Well.... The guy had a 24h 2cv in his garage when I was there (10yr ago...) and, perhaps, he was referring to being a 'popular guy' to make a top quality product... Dunno. He is VERY GOOD, I know that much 😎 chaseracer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaseracer Posted April 23, 2023 Author Share Posted April 23, 2023 Cadwell Park, 15.4.23, first meeting, two 15-minute sprint races... Race 1: Laurence - qualified 15/21, finished 15th. Race 2: George - qualified 11/21, also finished 15th. There's work to be done on the fuelling and cylinder heads, we're not getting the solid top-end power we expected. Rest of the car was pretty good. juular, Crackers and Marina door handles 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaseracer Posted April 23, 2023 Author Share Posted April 23, 2023 So, while Laurence did that, before the rain set in, I hacked about the first of the new lightweight panels to make it fit a little better!
