The Graham Hill test car is indeed the mould I made, with integral rear wing, as Dennis points out. I have a top view of that car, and the wing is proportionate in my view. If you want me to cut off the wing I'm perfectly happy to do so.. If I modified it so that the rear wing was not integral, would the separate wing on stilts still have to be within the width rule? I did finish the mould, and several people here race it in various classes. It went back and forth to you chaps, but I was never sure which bit was not meeting with approval, so I stopped, just to save postage! I had the impression that you didn't like the squareness of the body profile itself, which kind of made the whole thing junk. I can't remember the wing/spoiler being an issue. If you can show me what to hack away, I've no problem with doing that. Or you can just run them for fun, like we do! I just love Gold Leaf Lotuses.

John,
Before you clip the wing, would you be kind enough to pull me 5 of them? I would love to build a few cars using the body, just for the fun of it, I don't care if it would be IRRA or SCRRA or whatever RRA legal.
