Finally, another post about the J15! I think I’ve worked out why it’s been so long since the last one. In a nutshell I hate doing bodywork as it’s all so final and the slightest mistake has to be lived with for ages. Daft really because as soon as I stuff it into something everything changes.

This is the one meeting of the year when all the racing formulae are at the same meeting so it’s very busy, and bustling. I’d decided not to test as I know the circuit rather well.

Most importantly I’ve done some work to attach, at least initially, all of the bodywork. For evidence, here’s the car on the drive.
