 The car is a Reynard 90H Formula Atlantic. Originally
the Atlantic series cars ran Toyota 1600 twin cam engines and Yokohama
tyres.
It features a carbon/kevlar composite monocoque based on Formula 3 and Formula 3000 designs. The gearbox that supports the rear suspension is a Reynard designed, magnesium casting. It has full aerodynamics, front and rear wings as well
as a full ground effect under body with the front and rear ride height
set at 25mm and 40mm respectively.
We extensively modified this car to compete on Circuits in the British and Leaders Sprint Championships as well as Sprint Hillclimbing.
The car was fully stripped and rebuilt with new A-frame engine and gearbox support being designed and manufactured to take a 2000cc Ford BDG derived/hybrid Cosworth engine running on Weber Alpha engine management and fuel injection. Also supplied by our partners Weber Alpha was full on board data logging, monitoring steering angle, longitudinal and latitudinal G force, road speed, engine RPM, suspension movement and many other inputs. Maximum RPM of the engine is 10500, delivering 295 BHP. The Gearbox had to be modified to take the extra power and torque, especially as we now run larger rear tyres than we used in the Atlantic series. The car is now set up to run on Avon radial slicks and wets instead of the more normal cross ply tyres. The heavy Atlantic rear wings were replaced with a longer single plane carbon fibre wing and the car weight in at just over 420 KG.
