AI Show

Monday, January 12th, 2009

We visited the AI show on Friday. It was quite useful this year, even if the economy seems to have wiped out half of the stands! We met up with friends, suppliers and competitors alike. There were some very interesting stands, especially for bikesports/bescr with Reynard releasing their ‘Inverter’. This looks like a proper piece of kit, as you would expect from Reynard, and it is aimed squarely at the grid of bikesports, so could this be the car to beat. Obviously it will have teething problems I am sure but when its sorted should be rapid! We shall have to see…

Anyway, also met up with the BESCR boys, which was good, I can now finally put faces to names, although I am slightly worried as Iain seemed to ‘recognise’ us….! hmmm. Anyway, seeing the speads on the stand has made me want to get mine on track even more.

However we have a family illness which obviously must take priority, but hopefully things will stay reasonably on track.
I did managed to spend a little time in the workshop on Saturday working on the splitter. Unfortunately I left the camera in Loughborough, but I will try to post up some pics next week.
