FINAL STAGES AND TYRES

Then it’s just a case of assembly. Drop the renovated bodyshell onto the rolling chassis and fix with the bolts, fresh if possible. Then all the other bits! A protective undertray below the fuel tank is required. Fix this supersecurely with countersunk bolts into closely spaced captive nuts in the chassis. Race cars must have club-spec Toyo 135/80, 15in road tyres. A set of four can last a complete sprint season or more. The 24-hour race ideally needs a set of dry tyres and a set of wets (buffed less). Once assembled, you’re then ready to hit the track.
