I know where you are all coming from, I was a customer long before a team driver and whilst you say its unfair that the team have them now, they don’t have them just to spite you, in the long term it’s on your behalf and whilst now racing the car and seeing the buzz created has been a great time for me personally as someone involved in the project from its inception, there have been the less exciting days...

Leaving work at 5:30, travelling 40 minutes to a track so that we could test elements of the car as much as possible before it got too dark. Giving up Saturdays to do the same, in the cold and rain of late winter. Constant emails between the very small group of people involved, hours on the CAD machine for the main designer who can't act without constant, accurate feedback and information which sometimes was given via a notepad, pencil and calculator as well as the on track findings.

Remember, this is a project by CML, a UK distributor who already distribute a hugely successful 2wd chassis which continues to sell very well throughout the world - but on behalf of their UK market, both team driver and customer they are taking this hugely risky but committed plunge. They are not an established manufacturer with endless manufacturing possibilities to hand, it's a substantial investment for them and they need to be certain that they get it right and that takes time.

It is a lot of effort but everyone involved is delighted with the initial outcome and we know the customers will be also, but producing a car that is easy to drive, has support from a team of respected drivers and is very cost effective, isn't achieved overnight. Trust me, everyone is 100% committed to getting this car out ASAP, and that is when it will be out.
