« on: January 27, 2012, 10:53:46 am »
Following the late announcement of Peugeot withdrawal from the FIA WEC and 24 Hours of Le Mans for the 2012 season, the FIA and the ACO have decided to extend the entry deadline of the FIA World Endurance Championship and the 24 Hours of Le Mans until 31st January. This decision comes in the global interest of all parties involved in Endurance Racing.
The final entry list of both competitions will be unveiled on 2nd February at the press conference in Paris as originally planned.

Are you going to convert the frogeye to derv or connect a pushbike dynamo to the rear wheel and call it a hybrid?
Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

He doesn't need to, Gary has already installed an innovative energy recovery system involving the electrochemical process of transferring electrons from iron to oxygen......

As Mark so rightly says, I'm running on the rarely used (and much overlooked) hydrated iron oxides Fe2O3·nH2O and iron oxide-hydroxide (FeO(OH), Fe(OH)3) fuel mixture. The electric drive will have full Lucas backing. I'm hoping for a joint Kodac/BMC sponsorship deal. The whole deal is being put together by Mr H Redknap based in N17.
The driver line-up will be myself and Mr N Mansell, so perhaps the larger fuel tank won't be necessary.
