Safety & monitoring

A few safety items have been added to the car including a remote battery cutoff, a pair of easy reach fire extinguishers, a secondary bonnet restraint and 5 point racing harnesses.

Alloy tread plates with grip tape have been added where front floor mats would normally be to minimise footing slippages getting in to or out of the car.

Gauges have been added to monitor water and oil temperatures, oil pressure and vacuum to try and pick up any issues with engine vitals as early as possible.

A fixed three point camera mount has been fabricated to capture race footage and a RaceChrono GPS setup comprising a Nokia 6120 classic mobile and QSTARZ BT-Q890 5Hz Bluetooth GPS receiver is utilised for reliable yet affordable lap timing.
