A good trick to protect the fiberglass fenders is to glue some 'anti-fatigue' mats to the inside of the fenders. its about 1/2" thick, cheap and it absorbs anything that is flung off the tires. Its also cheap so it can be replaced when it gets beat up. Easy to cut to fit and light too!

Car is looking fantastic Cyril!! Next time you get a pro driver in there make sure to video and upload it to Youtube...as well as you driving it of course. Can't believe how quick you have got that all together with that level of workmanship. Serious congratulations!

You have all the engine you need for the moment. What you need is driving this thing more, you know, just like Chris G. Once you are there, you'll be able to think to add more power.

I can guarantee you that if you add 50hp now, you will not be a lot faster (less than 1 second at Tremblant).

Just try to drive it like you stole it!

The car was a blast to drive and so much lighter and faster.
Now I need some aero... :-)

Thanks you again for your support guys!

Good for you Cyril...you haven't wasted any time!

Looks like your exhaust is hanging a bit low? Also, it would be good to try and get your guys to work the rear of the fenders into the valence a little more.

The front end on your car is the best looking track car I have seen. Like it very much

Very nice!
Do you know how much lighter and how much faster (lap times times) than earlier?

That much white is blinding, ya need some graphics.

The next time you have the front end off you may want to consider putting in some wire mesh to keep the larger chunks of track debris from getting at your radiators.
