95’s are nice, and there are +/- s wrt to performance - go check out the boards. However, all of the interior bits suck. Much of this got sorted out in the later years. The leather vaders are nice, but the door panel adhesive fails, clips fail, .......

The latter could actually result in a legitimate plan for mutual social benefit

Do the riders remember the braking points for every turn? I’d assume there are some brutal decreasing radius turns on the course - can the riders remember the details for each one?

I was also wondering about how repairs can be done on these. The highly integrated, built up composite materials (referring to metal/CFRP assemblies) are tech neat and produce a weight efficient vehicle. But won’t it be difficult to determine when there has been a delamination failure buried inside the vehicle…

Oh yeah. Had a good local mechanic who replaced an engine for me (Chevy Blazer). Honest and hard working guy. Solid.

I was a student pilot briefly*, training on our explorer posts L3 Aeronca (a small 2 place, tail dragger, high wing aircraft used for scouting and general utility work. Vintage 1943.)

An aside, but relevant: 2 stroke motorcycles. Weak power delivery until the engine speed matches the expansion chamber design speed. And then it’s off to the races. Not necessarily lag, but incredibly peaky power delivery.

I knew they demolished Ascot, but had no idea it's now a junkyard.

3455 lbs. wow. What would it weigh with less CF?
