And there's no bonnet catch, so in the event of a crash, a marshall can get under the bonnet for whatever reason.
Need to sort a cut off switch too

This is going to be used on public roads and auto tests where pretty much anything can be used, some of the roads are gravel though

#14: Re: My Road Rally car Author: macj, Location: EssexPosted: Sun Oct 17, 2010 12:18 pm ---- Would not go for the gravel tyres..... a decent set of Mud/snow tyres would be better... you may find road rally regs will not permit gravel tyres
#15: Re: My Road Rally car Author: Spanerman, Location: Neath, South Wales.Posted: Sun Oct 17, 2010 12:24 pm ---- Sounds interesting
Going to use road tyres for my first couple of events, need to sort out lighting (inside and out) first
