Sierra Sierra Evo VIII... a closer look

I have been trying to watch F1 Q1 & Q2... but just haven't been able to, thank you Comcast DVR.

Anyways, I have always been intrigued about this vehicle from the first time speaking to the owner about it, and watching it evolve has been amazing to say the least. Almost anytime I see new pics of it pop up... I notice something new on it. Here pretty detailed look at the beast from Motoiq.com

This makes me not want to build my car... I could not see myself meeting the level of this build. Nice, work though, very nice. I hope you kill the all the records out there, and make us Evo owners proud.

What a great writeup, thanks for sharing.

Any plans on goind to Tsukuba and beating the same HKS evo on their home turf?
That would be great and begin a good rivalry.

I have no idea how this is not more, or as sophisticated as the CT230R, but most of the components are off the shelf. The CT230R... good luck getting your hands on that dry carbon widebody chassis

Like take the DC Electronics Power Steering system... can I buy it? Oh hell ya I can.. but do i know how to set it up... **** no

That electronic power steering system, then the suspenders are what I would love to know most about

They are headed to Australia to battle in the WTAC.

I sure hope the team principal decides to take this beast out to Tsukuba, Japan in November for there Super Lap Battle... knowing his ambition i don't put it past him
