Looks like you could drop the rear wing by about a foot, could you?

hahahahaha besides borat this is the most ridiculous thing ive ever seen

[Weberseon]

Wow, that seems like a very bumpy track. Are you guys planning to go to FS2012 (Silverstone)?

[MonashMotorsport]

@Weberseon : It depends on how well we do at the end of the year, and what our finances are like. We're definately considering it as the dream would be to go to FSUK, Austria and FSG, but we'll have to save quite a bit. Not to mention how it might adversely affect our 2012 car.

It's a nitrous bottle, isn't it? ;)

[Brootal290]

Guessing it's the gas cylinder for the pneumatic shifter. Car looks quick, but that single cylinder engine sounds like poo. Do you get points for exhaust note? You should.

[MonashMotorsport]

@Brootal290 : We don't have a pneumatic shifter, we just have a normal mechanical linkage for a shifter, but the lever comes up behind the steering wheel so the driver can shift up without taking his hand off the steering wheel.

What is the big silver cylinder attached to the rollbar? Accu-sump?

[MonashMotorsport]

@MrJacktodaMax : It's actually our temporary fuel tank! Because we are still running carbureted, we're not running our comp-spec fuel tank. It's much simpler to do it this way because the carby is gravity fed, and we don't have to muck around with getting the pumps right for the carby.
