2. I started to read books on ground force, (you FF1600 lads should do it, it would open your eyes, had I done this in our days in FF1600, I would have discovered that, had I done a simple mod to our Reynard FF1600, this would have given us 200 rpm at Silverstone).
3. He certainly was my benchmark.And oh, I forgot, while you lot are complaining that ARP F3 isn’t competitive, in Formula Ford 1600, there are only usually 4 cars with any chance of winning, all the others are 2 seconds behind, and not worth timing!
Just picking bits out of your post maddogf3
1. I think you are not just a race engineer, but a race engineer / driver.
2. I don't recall the Cheshire Building Society Reynard venturing out at Silverstone
3. Very unfair. It is similar in most classes that the 'closeness' is at the 'spending money end of the grid'

Oh and welcome to ten tenths Cleggie
