I made one just like that back in the day. Come to think about it I dressed just like that too

Didn't realise it was a tandem Lotus, one of those race cars designed to take investors out for a spin

the blue and red ones below we're the dogs. Built and designed by college kids and entirely out of cnc ply bar the axles and a rubber pad for braking. Amazing skills. They've been on display in Sheffield and are now moving to a shopping centre for further display. Works of art

Doesn't look very steep, how fast was the course?

 

[PaulJL]

the second half was steeper. Gradual incline on the first half

 

[jimberlake]

Needs to be steeper...but was ok. Next year they are prioritizing a bigger hill

 

[PaulJL]

bit of research over the last couple of days... They do soapbox racing down the hill climb course at Harewood House and in a village near Hull...
evel may get a few runs out in his tilting rocket soapbox with reconfiguable chassis.
