 Just 2 more weeks left before we start.

We have now all but 3 teams cars at Harlequin.
I am really pleased that so many of you got your cars in early for testing, as there has been more than usual number of running issues, which would more than likely been unresolved if they had all come in at the last minute.
Motor failure, broken car on delivery, tyres rubbing on body components, rule infringements, and also issues with the excessive motor magnetic downforce. Luckily most of these issues have been resolved, but it does emphasise the necessity of having a number of weeks in advance to carry out these test sessions.

Hopefully the remaining 3 teams cars will arrive very soon, otherwise they might carry unresolved issues into the competition.

We had returned this week the Alfa Romeo Gran Turismo with a replacement motor, the TR7 glued back together and now in one piece. So these will be test run again on Sunday along with the most recent arrivals from Isle of Man and one or two others.

ALS Team has agreed to have their Alfa Romeo with Pirahna (high magnet downforce) motor replaced with an approved alternative, Brumos RSR having withdrawn the De Tomaso ( high Magnet downforce) is hoping to send a replacement model. Courtney Sport have also sadly had to withdrawn the Porsche 924 (high magnet  downforce)

So there is still a lot going on, I hope to set up the Rally Stage track in the last week before the official start begins, and this will be the first time I have used it, so will probably spend most of that week preparing the track. So I may not get much time to do any more car work in that last week.

So this Sunday is possibly the last test session.
