Keep us updated!

Videos would be even better!

That is sweet! Only wish I'd read the thread earlier, I only live 10 minutes from Donington! Any ideas when it's next out?

Cheers, Martin

Russle,

Thank you very much for posting the photos of the DTM type racer.

One detail stands out: the gear lever. Is there any way to find out what gearbox the car uses and details of the gear lever, change actuation, etc.?

The standard 2.3/2.5-16 gear change after a few years becomes marginally satisfactory. Am interested in alternates.........

Will greatly appreciate a reply.

Thanks & regards,
bobf.

A few years back I saw a racing video from inside an EVO II. Looked like the driver was slappin' a sequential shift gearbox
