Refurbishment

Franc. now belongs to the new year 7 team. The team are still part of the same Philip Morant Racing Team and share the same workshop but are in charge of their own sponsorship, fundraising, budget, design and car preparation.

With some changes to the regulations requiring work to be carried out on Franc and the stature of the new drivers offering scope for alteration the time was right for a full strip down and rebuild of Franc. The rebuild has included a new seat, improved rollover structure and better side impact protection. It also meant Mr. McCain and Mr. Barker had to get acquainted with a welding torch...

Before....!	During!	All welded and ready for paint	Painted, now for reassembly. How many days are left....?
Assembly started...wheels, steering, seat, belts and electrics done.		Assembly finished....roll bar, floor pan and nosecone added	Skin applied and masked ready for spraying.
With livery from our sponsors TME Tarmex Ltd and Chann Neill Solicitors and a scrutineering sticker Franc 2.0 and his driver takes to the Goodwood track for the very first time.
