The Daytona/Robnell Factory Tour was great fun and very interesting.
Fortunately there was plenty o parking at the factory and as usual it turned into a bit of show and tell.
Inside the factory Mr.Motec - Richard - spoke about his project, the engineering, approach and some of the remarkable achievements they have made with the car.
It was a very interesting talk - except for Phil who kept eyeing off the blue one and contemplating a drive home..
Richard was also prepared to talk about the very sad incident involving Peter Brock
Including the circumstances leading up to the event, the aftermath and what they learned. I felt this was a open and honest account of what was clearly a very sad event involving a personal friend.
Later the new(er) Targa car was put up on a hoist and we crawled all over/under it - several members inside it - while Richard continued to give us a commentary on the engineering and construction considerations.
As if that wasn't enough of a treat Richard then showed us through the factory next door (which looks like its his toy shed)
Lotus anyone ?
By this time Richard had turned us into a drooling mass
The factory tour was a great day out and our host was great guy who is - like us - a car guy and very generous with his time.
Had a nice drive home too.
