Winter Progress

The winter break has been a busy one here at Hampton Racing with major leaps forward on both Ampherrous and M8.

Ampherrous is now finally sporting its body! With only a few tweaks left before its fully finished, assembly of the final parts will soon be under way ready for the Goodwood Test Day in March. 

Also the frame has taken some improvements with the addition of a few members between the cockpit opening and the front sub frame, now producing more of a space frame chassis. This has been done in an effort to save weight by stiffening the chassis to allow for a thinner floor to be used. These small but hopefully significant changes are what we hope will propel Ampherrous through the field.


M8 however has taken the biggest change with the reassembly of the chassis and major steps forward in the building of the bodywork.

With its light and simple frame all is looking positive for M8 this year however a lot is still to be completed. But with its first race not until June, at the earliest, high hopes will be set for its return to the track!
