STILL THE SAME CAR our C1 racing adventure started with!!! Race cars are often unloved, disposable and rarely run for more than a season without replacement or major rebuild. Our little trooper is still going so we are pushing our luck and going for another full season.. There is talk amongst the old guys involved on the feasibility of doing the 24 hour race but with only Mel being able to stay awake after 9pm tyres and car failure could be the least of our issues.
