See that catch at the 5min mark! Intense!
It's funny watching people seriously road racing S1s, coz theyre famous for being the worst tarmac cars of the groupe B era. Really understeery and
twitchy apparently.

Hey Col
I am about to push on with the cage and seat mount etc. The cage has the main hoop, front half laterals, brace (top of windscreen) and V support in
roof all tacked in.
I had delayed a little because I moved the engine firewall forward 50mm and then discovered it was an issue for Imp Pro. After a couple of months I
have decided to go sports sedan as with the 69 BJ/IRS pan under the 54 it has question marks re Imp Pro also.
The engine has been trial assembled in the bottom end and is getting close to having all components for assembly. Westi has been working some magic on
intake manifolds and heads while Matt Berry has the rest of the engine in hand.
I hope to have the cage finished this year with seat mounted and then begin work on plumbing and wiring.
Cheers
Marcus
