Chris and any other Royale fans.
RP6 Chassis number 8 was during 2013, as some of may know, fully rebuilt and upgraded to RP17 spec as raced by Hans Baumhardt in period.
I raced the car twice last year in the HSCC Martini and after responding to a number of queries a HTP was issued late in the summer.
So it's all systems go for 2015, I plan to race it in the revised HSCC Martin at Silverstone, Brands Hatch, Zandvoort and Dijon, I may well be joined by another RP17 as chassis number 1 has recently changed hands and I understand the new owner intends to upgrade it to the same spec as the HB car (currently it has a 1300 Brian Hart BDA) and also race it in the Martini.
Whilst my car is currently down on power (rally spec BDG on carbs) if I sort it to my liking I will invest in the Lucas FI and camshaft upgrade.
Here's to an interesting 2015.
Happy new year to all.
