Start checking fluids, brakes and heat wrapping everything in sight. Plan is to swap rear hatch, which is pretty cumbersome, for a super-light see through 5mm polycarb screen. This can be cut to allow more cooling and it will look F40-cool. Vented rear number plate panel. Wheels swapped for the wet A032Rs just in case. Car jacks up nicely now I bought a proper low-profile racing alloy jack Shakedown booked for 5th March at East Fortune (http://www.javelin-trackdays.co.uk/) in Lothian instead of Knockhill (http://www.knockhill.co.uk/) as it’s an easier track on the chassis and has more generous run-offs. Joined Lotus On Track (http://www.lotusontrack.com/) and booked track day at Oulton Park in the Midlands. Everything now geared to getting car just right for Oulton. Some real problems getting the car started – battery is okay so may be terminals, starter motor sticking a little or perhaps relay/solenoid is the culprit.
