Hi all.
I may have mentioned in some earlier posts about a friend of mine who has bought himself a Brabham BT40 F3 car and a Brabham BT41 F2 car. For those not up with the intricacies of historic formula racing cars, the BT40 and the BT41 were made in 1973, when Brabham were arguably in their heyday as a constructor.
As well as the cars, he also got moulds for every single fibreglass body part, a transporter which can take both cars at once and lots and lots - really, lots - of spare parts. He's pretty chuffed with it.
This is the F3 car:

Anyway, the guy I'm talking about owns an engineering company and associated factory, in which he makes custom tooling for other factories to make things with. When you hear about companies using tools to create the particular shape of a fairing, he makes those sorts of tools.
So, when this guy bought these cars, he spotted a bit of an opportunity in the historic racing car scene and he's started to develop a bit of a business out of it. Essentially, he's offering a service where he'll do a range of things needed to race historic formula cars, like crack testing certification, engine building, engine tuning, small batch component manufacture - down to a single part 0 as well as a few hard to get products.
For example, he has a distributorship for that new waterless radiator coolant I saw someone mention a while back.
I'm in the process of building a website for him at the moment. Nothing spectacular yet, but it's improving incrementally. What I want to know is, are any of you lot interested? I don't want to post the link if you lot think it will be spammy.
tl;dr - I'm building a website for a mate who does shit with historic motor racing. He also has useful products. I don't want to spam you though, do you want the link?
Also, yes I do know there are two "Yes" options.

Double the chances isn't it? Interestingly, the second "Yes" has more than twice as many hits than the first one.

Cheers G, I'll do that.
Gotta say, I really like the idea of fan cars like the BT46B, it seems to me to be a natural progression for Formula 1 to go in. I'd love to see something competitive with them.
The BT41 I mentioned has an interesting history of its own actually, after a fair bit of investigation, it turns out that the car in my mates garage is in fact the last privately sold Formula 2 or 3 car from Brabham ever. In early 1973 they decided they would concentrate entirely on Formula 1, after Bernie Ecclestone got involved with the team.
Because of that history, the car has an invitation to compete in the Historic Formula 2 race at Monaco in 2014 - I've managed to wangle myself and a couple of mates from Australia spots on the pit crew then, which will be awesome.
