Price is £11,000. Please PM me if you are genuinely interested.

Lets hope it goes to a good home and gets driven as it should.

So sad to see this for sale.

Hope it goes to a good home.

What's the price btw.

Price TBC (I need to speak to Ren, Peter's wife)

I'm not interested but I'll post it on the FD2 forum

I still have Peters Ohlins for this S2000, Special setting specailly for his setup.

Hi Dixon, see the separate thread I've started re the Ohlins

What a car.

Hope it goes to someone form here.

If I knew I could get a place on the time attack series next year I'd probably do it.

Have a chat to Dixon chilled and see if he can help in that area, having won it he'll know all the right people

If you can't get in for next year you could spend a year getting some experience in normal sprints and enter the following year.

It's a very easy form of motorsport to get into.

If anyone want to get into Timeattack let me know, They have already reserve a place for me but I might race in something higher level next year. So you can have my space!

I really hope this beast goes to a good home

TTT

What are the costs for Time attack, fees etc? And how many events a year?

Meant to be 8 rounds next year for TA - instead of only 4 this year.
I thought they were still taking entries tbh so maybe worth shouting them

Good luck with the sale though!

Price now added in the opening post

Its a sad day to see this car for sale - if i could i would, but commitments say no

have you tried advertising it on racecarsdirect.com - usually get a very good response from there
