As the title says the Silverstone Classic will be on ITV 4 on Thursday night at 9:00. You never know, we might be on.

Sadly not will give them a wave from the fiat panda if we do ☺ Panda rev limiter doesn't kick in till 7000 in first gear, all the car you need, except the westie....

Thanks Geoffrey, might have to get one of those for my camping chair, the nylon bag it came with is pants!

Like anything there are a few ways to do it, depending how thick you want it, I'd either: Use chopped strand mat, but only one or two heavy gauge layers, then go for progressively finer and finer weight mat to keep as smooth and tight a surface as possible, then finish with a layer or two of surface tissue. You'll still need to sand and fill, but with care and carefull attention to the overlaps you at least reduce it. A good roller will help working the resin in and assist in not overloading it. Alternatively - trickier, but get it right and it well get you a much better surface/thinner but still strong panel, is to use woven roving type may instead of chopped strand. A lot of (amateur) aircraft build is done this way, inside out compared to kit cars, as a gel coat onto mould + backing CSM mat isn't always used, instead, they do exactly what you intend and build the covering up from the bottom, ending up with a twill mat surface that can be sanded and painted.
