CR1 features

Here are the standard features on the Aquila CR1 sports GT

• Cabin is sized for real people of generous stature, even with two occupants for events and racing schools - virtually all other racing cars appear to be designed for jockey-sized drivers.
• Adjustable pedal wrack to enable quick driver change and maintain a low centre of gravity.
• Suspension geometry with generous travel, stable roll centres and good camber recovery provides easy, vice-free handling with relatively comfortable ride and good tyre wear characteristics on numerous makes of tyre.
• LMP-style coupé bodywork is smoother and visually more appealing than open-topped chassis with their unsightly roll-over structures and compromised aerodynamics.
• Stiff, deep-section aluminium monocoque provides more survival space than space frame chassis, but lower cost than carbon fibre monocoque.
• Use of identical rear and front running gear and brake components minimizes logistics costs and reduces spares inventory requirements.
• All "sacrificial" suspension components are non-handed, again minimizing logistics costs and spares inventory requirements.
• Production road car engine with mild state of tuning ensures reliability significantly increases running life and reduces acquisition and running costs.
• Rugged, time-proven Hewland NLT transaxle.
• All mechanical components are easily reached for inspection and maintenance.
• Bodywork is divided into several smaller sections to minimize repair costs.
• Generous brake disc and pad sizes to provide long-life, affordable components with very high performance-to-cost ratio.
• Very simple chassis set-up and suspension adjustment procedures - all wishbones are fully jigged and require no adjustment at installation.
• Generously sized engine bay and use of bespoke Aquila bell housing/adapters enables accommodation of a broad range of suitable engines.
• Heated windshield to prevent condensation on windshield.
• Dampers are identical throughout the car.
• Splitter and the floor under the side boxes are made of plywood / low cost durable.
• Front roll stabilizer adjustable from the driver's seat.
• Collapsible Steering Column (Fully Adjustable.)
• Light weight GRP Bodywork
• FIA/FT3 80 Litre Fuel Cell + 40.
• Front and Rear Adjustable Anti-Roll Bars.
• Lightweight Universal Billet Aluminum Uprights (Same Upright Fits Each Corner.)
• 6 Point Willans Harness.
• Removable steering wheel hub.
• Cockpit adjustable brake bias.
