With well respected car designer Gerd Strenge joining the project earlier this year, in its update MRO Racing together with some body on photos of the buggy posted, ”Hello everyone, After not hearing from us for so long, it’s time for an update. We’ve spent several months thinking about how we could change a few things on the car and whether the changes would deliver what we hope for. Today is the day. Today we’re going to test the car on a track in Germany and see how it all works. We hope for the best. Our thoughts were that we could save even more weight, bring the weight even more into the centre and make the car a little stiffer. So we thought about how to do this and put it into practice. We will report back after the test. We are just as excited as you are.’
