The development of the single seater has been a long and drawn out affair being passed from one pair of hands to another as the people who inherit it drop by the way side...so untill some one manages to get it finished and presented to Haynes we'll just have to keep following the saga

Given the sad personal circumstances of the books author, that is a very low blow mate.

I am sure that Haynes will release further details on the Single Seater as and when that information is available.

It is not ment as a low blow and what happened to Chris Gibbs was unfortunate but the fact is that every body who has had any involvement in the project has had to stop working on it due to some kind of ill health. If you ask me the body thing is jinxed.
