Dreams do come true!

It will be very interesting to read your thoughts on how it drives. I'm sure it will be epic.

The colour scheme is better than the current cars, imop, and the history as LH first car makes it very special. It may sporn a thread " What's the appreciation on F1 cars".

It truly was a special day at Silverstone with Michael and his F1 missile. I too struggled to capture on track footage as Michael was on the gas from get go.

What also staggered me is the number of techs, about 7, who attended the car and their enthusiasm , know how and knowledge.

I was shocked at the amount of data relayed real time to two laptops.......for example about 10 measures of oil from pressure at specific engine points, flow/viscosity, you name it.....probably 300 measures of the car on one screen.

The noise was something else.

The best part of the day was Michaels smile.

interesting. Lull is definitely not something I have experiecned in any of the cars that I have driven. It’s difficult to think that I will get to a speed in the F1 where I would notice it. For the first time ever I took Eau rouge flat out recently and it seems downforce just builds in cars line LMP3.
The inner car designer in me says aero has a finite limit at a determined speed. Thus what may be happening is that you are getting faster and experiencing improved downforce. But there is a chance I'm talking bollox.

I have always told you to gas it.
