Re: the life of rolie

Nap, I can only dream of that sort of performance..but we'll keep pushing.

I would do a digital replica of Rolie (in 1964 GT body though, as making sedan bodystyle is beyond my skills right now), but I am too busy ( read interested) making my own very first 3D graphics additions to game. Our team ...

Re: the life of rolie

Here's the video of 1969 Bellett GT R (with finnish importer rally tune, ~150 hp) in Brands Hatch Indy:

It has been while since I drove these in game and after making physics, I had chance to drive Ari's 1969 GT, which has Gemini 2.0 liter and 5 speed ...

Re: the life of rolie

2017.....and we're finally building the 4:11 diff. It seems crazy that it's taken me so long to get round to doing this, as we've had the parts for some years now....
....but what with all our recent reliability problems, I've been loathed to deliberately put more revs on the car.
Now we've got ...

Re: the life of rolie


Next stop, a circuit called Castle Combe....it's a lesser known circuit, which before it had a couple of chicanes plonked in, was really quick (much like Goodwood) it's still pretty quick as the chicanes are fairly well thought out.....but the real interest is the size of the grid....look at it ...

Re: the life of rolie

Small world indeed Dave...but I wouldn't like to paint it, so they say.
It's really pleasing to know the car's development is being followed by one of it's earliest owners.

With regards to the next stage, we're looking to re-fettle the current SOHC engine for next season, but in the longer term we ...

Re: Belletts in Sweden

Hi,
If I have not mistaken badly, there's a story about '66 Deluxes sold in Finland in 1967. Reason for this was the bankruptcy of Swedish importer, as the Finnish importer "Suomen koneliike" bought the unsold Deluxes from Sweden and sold them in Finland. Rest of the lineup had already new style ...

Re: GT Legends (PC Game) and making PR90 in it.

PR20 might happen somewhere in the future, but until that moment, the PR80GT is the closest thing to sedan in game. (as we all of course know here,) It's PR90 with 1500cc (with double carbs) Sedan mechanicals inside. Unfortunately I am bit busy few next days, but I will do some video about it as ...

Re: GT Legends (PC Game) and making PR90 in it.

You will also be pleased to know that these PR90 race cars are included:

1966 Arthur Treloar #50
1966 Arthur Treloar #12 (Driver C. Bond)
Tom Amos #24

I know Bondy is controversial - but I felt I need to include him to make up the drivers. I guess I could also add Barry Fergusson

So, here's the digital Flying Squirrel still in works. What was the hood color and do you want flying squirrel to be digitally reborn as PR90 or GT-R? If the latter, then there's choice between wide arched JDM factory works racer or normal non-arched variant. (in ...

I have no problem with the Squirrel being reborn, I have a few photos left to post, none really that helpful though, hopefully Dave Waldon might chime in and have some more from when the car was in his ownership, I believe Barry Heydon finished up with the rolling shell, any photo's Barry.

Re: Ted Freeman's Screamin Squirrell 1974

I have asked if our upcoming PR90 variation could have Screaming Squirrel paint job as option. :)
So, a bit luck and Screaming Squirrel could reborn digitally as 1600GT. :)

I will post to "GT Legends" -thread more videos and pictures later on.
