    This car ran in the 2001 British FV championship. Three tubs were manufactured, but only one made it to the track and won several races towards the season in the hands of Neale Blunden. If I remember correctly they wanted £10,000 for the tub alone. It was decided that this was not the route that British FV wanted to take and new carbon Fibre tubs were banned for the 2002 season, with the exception of the existing car. Ironically this tub was written-off in the final race of the 2001 season, so that was that.
