Me and a friend of mine,Johan, are building ourselves each a competition car. We have got a Renault R8 each, mine a 1966 and his a 1965. Both will be powered by Gordini motors, rollcages and lightened. We are going to paint them Gordini colours and they will be "Gordini 1100 replicas" because of the single headlights. Both cars will have regos so that we can do small rallies and hillclimbs and also the Leisuretime series here in NZ. We will be joining Ross in his Dauphine and so try and strengthen the Renault numbers.
I have raced in South Africa but that was with a full sponsor. Now I have to pay for myself so the car will be a more detuned version. My biggest achievement there was to out qualify 2 Mustangs and beat them in both heats. That motor developed 105 hp/liter and its capacity was 1450cc. I will place a photo later of the car. (must scan one first)
I will update the progress as we go along.
