My New F1 for HSC and Raceworld

Post by Mark Fox »

Hi All

With the State Title coming up I decided I definitely needed a new Retro F1 for the HSC big track and the King at Raceworld.

I really love the build I had featured earlier this year of the Brabham F1 winner supplied to Lyndsay Byron by Tommy Flyth - I decided to follow suit as follows.

What is that pink thing in the midst of all that chaos???

I took the new car to HSC on race night to battle it out for the 1st Round of The NSW State titles with high expectations.

I explained to my better half that at this stage (ie - before testing and racing) builders have absolute love for their new creations. This adoration is then either sustained or is replaced with confusion, angst and bitter disappointment depending on the resultant foray onto the track (of course she thinks that we are all barking mad).

Well I hate to keep you in suspense but you will need to await my Race Report - coming up soon.

Very Sano... as they say in the good ol' USofA.

Nice clean build, and looks like a rocket.
