It is cosequence of driver lets say ekh.. not "ideal " skills :) - snapped rear arches some time ago touching track limits marked with tyre- cones. First wanted to fix that  but.. also like that look and it is so much easier access to suspension settings, brakes maitenance, loading on trailer , using tyre blankets  etc. So until rules allow for that I decided to leave as it is.

"tyre blankets" that's pretty high tech for that level of motorsport!

Not really.  Allows to use  very cheap slicks. Set of 4 blankets is cheaper than set of premium tyres.  On colder day saves tyres and brakes (for not warming tyres before start).

Will see, so far used only few times - need some additional effort - car up, blankets on, timing to get to start immediately etc. But - car is predictable from start .

 

EDIT : that cheap tyre blankets I have bought, seems quite good quality for me.

approx 4-5 times cheaper than branded blankets.

Nice run out with Kitnet this morning to Five Zeros Supercars. Great place to visit with an interesting showroom, event space and nice diner. Breakfast was cracking.

Looking good.

 

Fyi watch the tight radius on the fuel tank vent pipe. I've replaced mine twice so far through development of cracks just by sitting there 

 

Mine now bends in the other direction (across the width of the tank) to reduce the radius.
