Looks like a Mosler from the back & a C5R Vette from the front! Very impressive work!

Where and in what kind of event did you race it? Any plans to do the next Nordic GT round in Estonia?

This race was a "modsport" race at Mantorp in Sweden. The car was mainly designed for Nordic Supercar, but there are not many of these race left in the calender these days. I should speak with the team manager and ask him to answer your question. I am just working on the engeneering side of the car. Goran |

This series: http://www.spvm.se/index.php?page=modsport ? Looks nice... they even have Gotland Ring in calendar
Did you have to change anything in the car to race in it in modsport? There seems to be some others from NSC too... Jaan Tolli / Boxster and Stefan Pfister / Lotus Europa. Red Corvette (Ingvar Sand) looks a bit familiar too, but I'm not sure if it's the same that used to race in NSC. |

We were at Falkenberg race track a week ago, but it rained so much that it was not possible to get some test laps. But the car works fine, no overheating or other mechanical problems, and respond well to the settings. We got third place in the race we could run. The car is certainly ready to compete with, the driver has to just get plenty of exercise to get the routine with the car. It is a well big task for a small team.
A new lake was formed by the night rain. The tent collapsed during the nights heavy rain. Goran |

It is about time to show that I am still working...
We have had problems with some understeer so I rebuilt the diffrential. Instead of the load-sensitive plate pack I made a new packages using a roller bearing which makes a completely open differential. It's not quite what you are accustomed to seeing on a race car but this car has an incredibly low center of gravity so I thought it was worth a try. It turned out that the driver was very satisfied. Now we can use a more balanced coilover-spring setting. This weekend, 12-8-2012, test-driven the car with the new diff and the result was two victories in two races on Anderstorp Raceway. I am really pleased with that. It really takes some time to get things right for a small team.... |

That car looks properly mean! Are you considering racing it in the Dutch Supercar Challenge? UK maybe?

Here is a film from the inside of our car at Anderstorp. There was a problem during startup because the driver was not familiar with the open diff, so he was passed by a few cars. In addition, he was out on the grass due to cold tires. These cars are later passed, and in the end there is a car left to pass but it is one lap behind.

If you don't mind me asking, how was this funded? Is straight out of your pocket or do you have sponsors/ backers etc? |

First, building the car has Consumed a whole lot of time. As for the design of the car so I have been working for free, to be given the opportunity to realize my own theories of how a car of this kind should perhaps be built. Plus, I have the freedom to use the construction of the car as an example in my book. I have also made many parts of the car, to avoid making advanced drawings that enable the work could be done by other work shops. For the main part of cost, the team has payed out of their own pockets. Of course, they have had some very good deals with different shops and the racing team built professionally in shape as a company.. One good thing that comes out from this is that the team is free from sponsorship requirements. I myself am retired so I have less profitability requirements now.

Would be great to see more success for your car/team that will hopefully bring more attention to the car. As a Toyota fan, I also liked the Red Supra you were racing against!

Saw this video and recalled that the car has a thread here. They've built a model for miniature windtunnel testing, I love it!

Hey, it's been a while since you heard from me. I have been working on the Corvette since the last races a year ago. Now we have decided that the car will be turbocharged. We change class to Time Attack. The car ports around one kg / hp at 1000 kg weight. Furthermore, the final concept contain active aerodynamics and brake systems. The image is photographed outside my garage in June 2015. It was then that light blue in color, but orange colors I have done in photoshop.
I made a little film featuring the car. As an old guitar builder so I recorded a cover of the Shadows Apache, on one of my bass guitars with my own fabricatded picups for a special bass sound. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpyHPLPAydA |
