Description:
It is with great sadness that I’m selling up due to the cancellation of the Scottish championship. The car has finished second in the Championship in 2019 and 2021, and was all set for a shot at the top spot in 2022!
The car was bought new from the Ray factory in 2017, and has had the best of everything. It was comprehensively refreshed at the end of 2020, including an upgraded floor in 6082 T6 aluminium, upgraded Aurora bearings throughout (including the bottom upright ones that only come from the US), new radiators, a full £3.5k gearbox rebuild by JP Race Shop at Silverstone (including new crown wheel and pinion), and a full rebuild of the Quantum Zero dampers.
It also features an AIM datalogger with lots of extra sensors (brake pressure, steering angle, throttle position etc etc).
The engine was a ground up build in 2019 by Neil Bold with a rare AX block (thicker cylinder walls) and a billet crank (£2.5k alone), and has been refreshed by Bold at the end of 2020 and 2021. It has run only 2 races in 2022.
The LD200 gearbox was fully rebuilt and superfinished by JP at the end of 2020.
The Lifeline 360 fire extinguisher system was completely new for 2022 to comply with new regulations. It also had new belts for 2022.
The spares package includes two extra sets of wheels (with good testing tyres), around a dozen pushrods/trackrods, 4 spare wishbones, a big box of assorted engine parts, spare brake calipers and master cylinders, a second carb, alternative springs etc etc.
I’m also happy to include my set-up notes and provide the new owner with advice and guidance if required.
There is also a massive box of 30+ gear ratios available by separate negotiation.
