Unlikely no.....
Several reasons...

I don't have a local tuner for support
Costs have been extreme
I didn't like the format this year (probably more my fault in that i'm too competitive. But i could get more track time and fun doing track days)
Despite all the promises again... we still don't have a confirmation of the format as promised back in August!!!

Car is now for sale on eBay & PH

Sorry to hear that

So what's on the wish list to replace it

Can't make my mind up.......

Something like a Caterham, Westfield, Super 7 style kit car
or possibly an AC Kit car look alike, with a nice big V8...

really not sure..... if i go the Caterham route, then i may well take up sprinting..
I also considered sprinting the scoob if i didn't get any bites..

Some nice options there....good luck with the decision for me it would have to be the AC Cobra with a nice big V8

Thanks Alyn....

This is copied from eBay:-

This is my track / race developed car. It has competed in the "Time Attack Series" for the last two years.
The specification of the car has always been aimed at track use with reliability. Therefore it's not running extreme power, but a very usable 427 Bhp with similar torque figures.

Work commitments don't won't allow me to compete again next year, so I've decided to sell the car and move on...

The full specification of the build is below, although I'm sure there are items that I will have forgotten or missed off...

I dont want to hijack the thread but why is it that these scoobs seem to develop nearly as much if not more torque than hp ?
Duncans is an extreme example but your car is almost the same
Have i been asleep for the last 5 years ? It always used to be the domain of the V8 etc to have the hp /lbs upside down but that does not seem to be the case any more. Are there many other cars that operate this way?
Super car bet you will be sorry to see it go. My weapon of choice as a pure track day car would be a sylva with a V8 :twisted: Racing series proven and not silly money. Good luck whichever way you go
