yeah thats what i,m thinking Mark, a V4 single seater sounds nice, & if the total vehicle weight is lower than a roadster then the vfr motor would,nt be TOO underpowered.
can i ask what the front nose options are like? without letting all the secrets out all at once,:D
without claiming poverty, lol. if i decided to go with single seater i could get all the running gear/engine ready before the book comes out, so wouldn,t feel the costs hit me all in one go.
i know its said the book comes out in 2010 but are we talking early/mid or late 2010?
as i,ve only spent money on build table & steel so far which will all keep then the single is looking as a VERY strong option.
cheers

Lighter by lots of lightness so the VFR will be more than enough to give you a good buzz even more so as you already have it...;)

Hi Andy.

If I can add my 2 penny worth to your dilemma.

I can understand you desire to be the first.
Not wanting to diss your ability,
but if you get stuck there won't be as many people to help you on the single seater.
The Roadster is a known quantity and all the bugs have been ironed out... Well most of them:D :D

thanks David, totally with you on that point & yes that had crossed my mind, no problem about saying "not to diss my ability", i understand where you,re coming from:cool:
i don,t wish to bore folk with my dilemma, (sorry) but glad the info of the single has come out now before i,m half way thru building a roadster.
smiles... a decision will be made soon.

thanks

Pink with black rear wings...been called one so might as well look like one:D
