Race Rocket revealed!!!

[roadtrackrace]

Here it is pictured at Mallory today. Our test car is fitted with a tuned 2.0 litre Zetec engine using Jenvey throttle bodies and omex engine management.

Race cars for the one make series will however use a 1.8 Zetec engine to keep the budget within reach for more people.

The race chassis adds a £1000 premium to the £3999 Rocket kit price tag but there's no need to IVA a race car even though it must be capable of passing an MOT, so it still makes for a very cheap race car if you build it yourself.

Questions anyone???

Well done guys, The Rocket 'brand' goes from strength to strength. The colours are great, the spec is good and the idea is thrilling.

From my point of view I don't particularly like the extra side bracing, perhaps that is a requirement of the race series. But I do like the extra bars coming forward from the roll over bar, they look good. The centre dash is a bit functional, but i can't reach mine when my harness is on, so it has to be this way.

The steering wheel column is uber cool. I love the racing look of that and it gives more room for knees too, and the light on the top of the roll over bar is a nice detail.

very good guys. I look forward to reading about it in CKC and seeing it at a track near me soon.

Excellent

Cheers

Look good guys. Glad to see you put the extra side bracing in. Stops the pointy nose of the rocket going through in the event of a T-boning.

Will the Race Rocket run with the wings? Also whats the gearbox internals as i see its branded with Tran X logos!

Any performance figures?

very nice!

how much heavier is the race chassis than the standard chassis?

i presume the race chassis can be used in a road car build?

thanks

[roadtrackrace]

Hi,

The race chassis can be used on the road and it will be about 25kg heavier than a standard chassis.
