Class E Thriving

With 4 brand new drivers showing interest in building cars for next season, plus the very strong grids we’ve had this year, it’s looking like 2015 will be a very busy year for the Twinspark Cup (Class E). Add to that the brand new cars being built for Steve Potts & Gethin Llewellyn, a hard earned podium will be all the more rewarding.

News from Paul at Bianco

We have been busy building 2 new Class E cars in the last 3-4 weeks! The first is a 156 for Steve Potts to replace his badly crashed 147. These pics where taken last week. The interior in now fully finished and we just have to install the engine before testing this week and it will have its first race at the Nurburgring next Friday! Harry is finishing off this car whilst I have now moved on to the next project!

Modified

We’ve also had good entries this year in the modified classes especially in A1 and it was nice to see 4 A2 cars at Rockingham. The panel discussed further ideas for the 2015 class structure at the weekend, details of which will be released soon along with the split grid poll results and various other feedback received.

I found this 3D render of a fictional Ferrari LMP1 car this week. I wouldn’t mind seeing this come to life. Great work.
