Quite a long time between drinks as they say....good news is that the 20BPP NC is finally ready for testing next March after a 9 year hiatus that included a major overhaul.

Yes! March 2024 not 2029!!! :D :D :D

I was lucky enough to have my collection captured by Torquecafe. Here's the vid with a little bit of imagery of the 20BPP NC in there.

Cheers! :beer:

That was a nice video :) well done to you!

My dream in a few years (once daycare fees are over with) is to bring my MX5 to Automotive Plus and say 'have at it' and get everything fixed.

I don't know if it was deliberate, but I got a kick out of the video being 6:26 long.

It'll be great to see the NC back out there! WTAC '24?

Hahaha...what a coincidence Paul! Well spotted. :P

I'd definitely love to get back to WTAC after 10 years. Hopefully I get plenty of seat time in 2024.

Cheers,

Been a while since I've been here too and am pleasantly surprised to see an update on this car. Will be so great to see it on track again. Can't believe it's been nearly 10 years.

Great video on the collection too Danny. I always lusted after a Series 4 RX-7 turbo when I was a teenager 8)
