THE BIKES...

This spindly little thing was meant to be better than our previous C90-based effort. It didn't work out like that. It was quite quick, probably because of the light weight, but it really wasn't designed to be hammered round kart tracks with up to 16 stone on its back. And that's a shame, because being hammered around kart tracks with 16 stone on its back was exactly what we knew it would have to do.

The engine survived its first 10-hour endurance race weekend, broke down after two hours of its second, was rebuilt in time for its third and then the frame snapped in several places at Elvington. The engine, forks, yokes, bars and sear went on to WR306RR, while very little else survived.
