With the foreign travel over for this year it's back to the UK racing scene.This weekend  at Santa Pod is the next port of call for the team.The car has been back at Altiss for a check over and some new top shocker mounts.The car has needed some spherical bearings for some time to cure the binding of the front struts.Finally we have some movement..!!!! Thanks to Nigel,Steve at Nimbus for the new front springs brought over in record time and Gazmatic for getting my shocks serviced within 3 days!

Hopefully now that the lost power is available again we should be able to put on a good show....

See you all at the track..

This is the car that put the Red Victor Racing team on the "map"!

 

From the humble beginnings of RV1, this took the team from just a small UK racing team to a world recognised one. This car was mostly built in a small lock up garage from scratch. Frosty is proud of the fact that this car was a home built effort!
