Sikes I'm from Barbados,it's to be a group 3a car.First actual test this evening went rather well,only did 2 laps because the power fc was on a very basic map and wouldn't rev in 3rd gear (well actually 1 and 3\4 because a wire came off the fuel pump switch) but overall first impressions have our hopes high as this was built on a very low budget and we hope to have it competition ready for another meet in october,

Only now noticed you guys mounted the engine pretty far back for better weight distribution. But this is a pretty awesome build. Can't wait to see videos of it in action

Sweet build! The first thing I noticed was how empty the engine bay was. Is there an advantage to placing the steering rack where you did or is it just because of the engine position?
