    Default Potential New F1000 Manufacturer

    I found these on a UK Racecar site. The manufacturer is listed at www.jkscars.co.uk.

    Tough to tell by the limited info on the web site, but looks like this is the UK built version of the South Arfican "Speads" Racer.

    The more the merrier to drive prices down and quility of offerings up...

    From the photos it looks like it would need some modifications to meet F1000 rules like a new undertray that extends to the back of the front tires and anti intrusion bars.All minor stuff so it could be a future constructor for F1000.

    Since the car is based on the RM02-06a chassis the undertray and diffuser that I built for my RM02a will work without any further modifications. This also allows current Speads owners to upgrade parts and bodywork without any modifications to the chassis or undertray.

    Default Camera?

    Is that an actual camera on the top of the scoop, or are they just trying to look like F1? I've noticed this on the Speeds cars as well.

    It is just there to look like an F1. Based on the size though a camera could be mounted inside. It would require some fiberglass work, but it could be done. We have designed a camera mount that will fit the Speads. We just need to finish the mold. As always there are just too many projects to do and not enough time.
