Hi

How many Olympics are being sprinted or hillclimbed? Or being prepared to do so?

I'm aware of 1 in UK and 1 in Australia (great You-tube video!), plus at least one other that was hillclimbed in the UK. There's also the cars discussed in the Forum strand on racing and autocross.

The blue French Phase 2 has got a battery box inside the car now - is this part of rally, race or hillclimb preparation.


What classes? For example in the UK, - roadgoing, modified production (ModProd) or perhaps historic classes for certain championships?

Is it a problem having to prove what the orginal engine is?



Has anyone had a rollcage - rear, or full - made recently? Reading the UK regulations for speed events looks like for under 2 litre marque sports car (is it one?) only a rear cage would be mandatory for ModProd, and nothing for a roadgoing car competing in road car classes.

I'm curious how you'd fit one into a grp body. Rollcage feet are really designed to bolt into to steel monocoque bodies with steel spreader plates welded to the body. What do Olympic owers do - create fibreglass/plywood mounting points on the inside laminted into the body, and use large steel/carbon fibre/Tufnol/plywood [with very large washers for bolts] spreader plates on the outside/underneath the sills/floor?


Thanks
Mike
