Looks great! Wish I could get to Sandown... Perhaps RF could market the car as depicted and call it the RF Atom... Tim.

Thanks Tim and Gus, the display was already attracting a lot of interest on the Friday practice/set up so we expect a fair crowd around it today and Sunday. This engine is supercharged as a number of clients are chasing the newer Ford GT powerplant (5.4 S/C) in the '60s body style so here it is. A few are in build now with 373kW (500ish hp) all ADR emissions compliant, the main challenge...

Here’s a few pics from Saturday at Sandown. The blokes from RF put on a great display that attracted a great deal of interest, even Sir Jack Brabham stopped in for a look and was keen to check out the latest developments on the RF chassis. I’ll post up a few more pics later. Cheers, Danny

Man that's a big engine. Can you get a roll cage in ok with that setup? Tim.

I see the 'honourary' RF PR man & Race Demo 'pilot' Mr R Nichol hovering in the background , or is he just getting a good look at & finally coming to grips with the RF suspension layout & how it all works without all the other bits to confuse him.....

Yes I missed that Jac,I can see him pink shirt red hat and a possible walking stick. 2nd last pic Just joking Ross. Jac even with all the other bits gone don't you think he still looks confused.

What trans are they running, it apears to be input above axle line. I would have thought with such a big engine they would have wanted it to sit as low as possible. I'm no expert on GT40 chassis and its probably the only way to do it, I was just curious. It does look impresive. Cheers Leonmac.

On Sunday it was even worse, JB could have passed both cars up the back...

Was awesome to see the GT40s out at Sandown on Sunday. You guys had ALOT of attention! I have to say that I can't wait to get that chassis into my garage, although I still say, leave all the bits on! Surely it will just be a pain in the ass to take them all off
