    I am just finishing up the design of a new f5/6 that is a major reduction in costs and will be faster than the current blade. I am focusing on the design while the actual car builds and sales will be announced very soon by a very experienced builder!

    More info in a week or so.

    Looking forward to seeing it.

    Any updates? I'm sure you don't want to give away your secrets, but what are some good resources/considerations that you've used when designing a new car? Also what has been your experience on the homologation process? I'm curious from the perspective of someone who would like to build their own from scratch. I'm sure buying one of yours would be faster and cheaper, but I'd remain just as ignorant in that case

    Thanks. Shaun
