Hi Paul, Glad to see you are still working away on the Fiorano. It looks a lot better with the latest rear spring and if you look at a photo of the Ferrari T166 you'll see that it has quite a lot of...

Your car is looking good Paul. Do you know how much negative camber you have now? How did you make the mirror cowling?
