Thread: Hillclimb Photos

She was / is still a reasonably competitive "street" car (was never built as race car) -- although it didn't like some of the motors we built for it over the last 12 years, she still uses the same unmolested G50/01 trans (probably the same oil as well )

Thanks for replies. Been away working and not checking forum. Yes, I thought you were running 265's (or similar) front and rear Chris, and your photos tend to confirm more or less equal tyre widths. I've got all the theories and basics sorted. Have plotted front and rear caster/camber/bump steer curves and am happy with geometry. Regarding cambers and tyre pressures - easy enough. I'll use thermal imaging to set both so as to...

Looks great! - Without reading your comment re the swaybars, I would have just assumed you were doing 200mph...;-)

Julian, I'm sure Chris will be able to give you advice from experience. It sure looks like a lot of roll for a GT40, but the outside wheels, which are doing the cornering work, look to be positioned nicely at 90 deg. to the road so this is good and the geometry is working. With stiffer anti-roll bars, you will have the same weight transfer but with less movement. Experiment with adjustment to see what suits your driving style; DRB have,...

Your car looks great julian. I am sure there is nothing like blasting along at pace, even with a few technical issues. Regards Jack
