We may not do daily briefings but for today here is another one. Early on when we got the panels cut but before we put them on their legs we laid some bits together to see what they would look like. Here are Panels 1 – 4 which make up the main straight, pit lane, […]
Following up on last night’s post about the way we do supports, here are some pictures indicating how we know where each support goes. They all get a unique code at the CAD stage and the same code goes on the baseboard where it needs to go. Code also on support
A quick pic of the supports on the baseboards of our version of the Austria track. This is in readiness for fixing the panels with the track channel routed out on to them.

In the last update I explained how we made a double Pit Lane with the lanes farther apart so we could get Pit crew on both sides of some cars. What we wanted to do next was to make it possible for there to be more than one way in and out of the garages […]
