February 2009 Update

The MAD-Racing team have been a little bit quiet on the e-waves over the winter of 2008/2009. You can rest assured that there has been quite some activity going on in the background, a quick flavour:-
Rear axle off, lightened, re-painted, ARB in preparation, new rear wheel bearings.
New halfshaft!
Rear bulkhead off, new seat mountings, bulkhead replaced.
Wiring loom stripped out, & replaced.
Steering column mounting replaced
Front bushes
General weight saving (car was 28kg over weight at the end of 2008 season)

Huge thanks to the Mad-Racing Northern Technical Centre, aka “Bruce”, who has once again come to the rescue with a bundle of milling, turning & any other technical jobs!! Huge thanks Bruce!

Most of the winter works are done, or are mainly done, and the car is planned to be back in action in March 2009. With this bundle of changes, the team hope to propel the car to an even higher position that during the 2008 season.

Pls find a few photos of the rebuild below.
