Once the car was complete, a final test run was called for in preparation of the race. This allowed Jon to check the handling capabilities and push the car to it's limit. If anything fell off now we would still have a couple of days to rectify the problem (though all the team really wanted the weekend off!). As it transpired the car was solid as a rock. Despite increased rolling resistance of the new front wheel assembly and a slight "twitchy" feel to the steering, the car performed beautifully. Able to be pushed easily with a single finger and the onboard computer clocking 20mph from a standing start, Jon surprised more than a few motorists in the lanes around the workshop!
