It has been a busy winter for TJT Racing with much tinkering and overhauling of the Vee’s being fitted in around family life and work commitments.
Matt has had some major repairs to the suspension and steering and hoping the engine gremlins have been eliminated.
Francis now has a straight front beam from the off at Cadwell and has made major adjustments to the general set up.
Vaughn has had a new exhaust, general refurbish, updated electrics including installing a new dashboard and has been busy fabricating odds and sods as usual.
The start of the season is fast approaching with the first outing at Castle Combe on the 2nd April. Francis and Vaughn went for a shake down test at Llandow Circuit on the 16th March. Always a friendly welcome by John and we would recommend the circuit to anyone for a testing day. A gloriously sunny morning gave way to afternoon showers. A good greasy track made for some interesting moments. All went well with no serious works needed and both drivers felt the cars were feeling good with only a few minor things to be added to the ‘to do’ lists.
Unfortunately Matt’s replacement steering rack will not be ready in time for Castle Combe, a real disappointment for Matt as he was looking forward to racing at Castle Combe. On the positive side Matt will now have time to finish the car preparation in time for the next race at Brands Hatch on the 21st – 22nd April which is his local circuit.
Roll on the start of the 2018 season!
