Excellent work there, Enigmatic. Are you going to fit a ROPS for racing, or go with the period-correct 'no belts and hope to be thrown clear' policy?
I was racing at Silverstone this weekend on the International circuit. Yesterday's race was a bit eventful on the first corner - it ended up being red-flagged halfway through the first lap. I got away with a firm tap on the rear right corner - no damage other than paintwork - although I did have to weave my way through spinning/stationary cars. No in-car footage from me as I left my CF cards at home, but here's some in-car stuff from people who ended up being rather more involved in the carnage:

You can just spot me on the second video on the left-hand-side before and after the crash - the matt black car with no. 52. 7 cars in total got taken out in that first corner shunt, with varying degrees of damage. No-one got hurt though, which is the main thing.
