The first road test was passed on the gravel around the sheds.  The ground clearance didn’t suit the gravel, but it was enough to demonstrate everything is working as designed.   A test on the concrete floor of the shed proved that the steering geometry was working well after being adjusted to increase the ackerman angle after there was some scrubbing with the first attempt. The car body has now had a coat of primer and is ready for its first real test on the skid pan at the RAC driver training centre in Perth later this month.
