    Dave Baldwin's 172 racer

    I Doubt it. It seems to be a curtain side lorry box modified to fit onto an old trailer chassis. Bought it from a removals company who used it once and found it far too big. The guy before transported cars in it. Just seems doubtful a Porsche dealership would have used such a stunning trailer...

    Wiring Loom

    Mark fish made up a complete car loom for mine from scratch. Depends on your budget and what you want out of your car.

    Dave Baldwin's 172 racer

    Bought a cheap trailer off eBay and modified it a bit to carry my car and kit. It's not pretty but it does the job and didn't cost a lot. Will do until i can afford a nice race shuttle. I've since treated it to some paint, refreshed the brakes and reinforced the ramp.

    Hi guys, thought it was about time to upload a few pictures of my race car that ive been building over the last few years with the aim to race in the tricolore trophy in class A. I would write a spec list but you can safely assume it has the vast majority of stuff you can get for these cars...

    Ceramic wheelbearings?

    Seen a few people using them in Motorsport applications, we've never bothered as the benefit is negligible in real terms. The bearings are also hideously expensive and useless when it comes to impact loading (kerb on a race track). You can get hybrid bearings with some ceramic bits and some...
