Smile Chris Doughty to drive for Atomic Carbon in 2007

Chris will be running the S4 in the national series next year, as well as doing some testing / development and design work over the winter.

Welcome to the team Chris :thumleft:

Looks ace I have to say, I can't wait to see it in the flesh. I love that carbon tub chassis.

Yes its the business, mega stiff and lighter than the old 5mm chassis. You cannot see on the photo, but the redesigned shock towers are also ace as well, and a lot more aerodynamic as well

Couldnt see the front one, but the rear looks nice. I'm really please to see you have such a good and well known driver on the team.

its an option, but we just need to hit the right oil/piston combo, as the piston speed is so much slower in the short shocks its hard to get the pack how we would like it.

spring rate and travel are perfectly fine, its just the pack issue.

Jonathan
will you sell this car as a complete car or a conversion?
or neither
Glad you have a very competetive driver to run it
maybe a potential worlds/euros winner(fingers crossed)
