^ @ Budda - what about those squeaky brakes :haha:

@ Catfish - it was a bit pricey at around £34, but worth it

Normal for race equipment. The Porche 917 did that quite a bit.

Nice vid at Laguna Seca.

I'm trying to save money to build this model(Volvo Amazon has to wait)

When finished the model will be around 54 cm long.

@Marcus if you ever do this be sure to post some photos of the build :)

917 and ..K, I had no idea of the background and insane engineering that went into this.
I knew the 917 had a streamline end that did not work, so they cut it off and called it 917 "K" for "kurz" (=short), but no idea about all this "rest" lol
They sure did not care about the driver or any security :eek: :haha:

Nice video about development and problems:
