Great looking car Steve what did it start as and how much of your old SG CSL lives on inside it ?

Its a brand new shell from BMW, and most components from the old car were replaced as they were getting tired after numerous ring laps. Main big item is the engine of course from the old car.

My old shell was sold to one of John's customers.

Thats what Tom tells me - left hand = better. But there are other arguments, with most circuits being clockwise that right hookers are better - so I've no idea.

It was also built as a left hooker because the car is far more valuable - it could be sold in the future to a VLN team or anyone racing in pretty much any country apart from the UK!

Most people know I'm no longer a fan of the SMG box in racing, perhaps it was my bad experience, who knows, but either way I don't think I got a proper chance to prove how good or crap I am, with the exception of Castle Combe perhaps when I threw away 3rd place in the first race by a silly mistake. I blame Daz, he was encouraging me to drift

lol !! Was a giggle for sure, im gonna save my pennies as want to do the VLN at some stage, hoping this year but at worst early next, and may have a race or two for this year in something if it all works out, but will be a shame not be with you lot again, although I will be there supporting during the day at some of the rounds, and maybe some evenings

Very nice indeed Was that a NEW LHD M3 CSL shell with the CF roof or the regular, all steel M3 shell ? Either way, must have been a real joy building a race car with mostly NEW parts.
