Default First Start and R300 Win!

Ok I think everyone missed it on my build thread!
Got the beast fired up,
It was a bit hurried and after a 7 hour flight from dubai, but she's a runner.
I'll get a video up soon of the beast spitting fire with out a manifold.
This is with the standard carb with nothing else plumbed in on it other than fuel.
Ignition is just an edis and coil pack and a few cobbled together wires, its amazing how simple the basic circuit is!

Oh and we got our first win of the caterham R300 championship at Silverstone! Got shunted from the lead on lap 3 down to 14th what followed was some of the best caterham driving I've seen.
It you have a spare 30 minutes watch this you won't be dissappointed, my man certainly knows how to get off the line.

We did the test day, after the first test session the driver came in complaining of lack of front grip etc, I made one change and didn't touch the car again for setup so well chuffed to know we have it dialled in and really understand the car now.
