The Farrington SP24-7 racing car for the Sports 1000 Series has been designed and built inhouse by the Company with a view to providing a cost effective option to the racing enthusiast in the form of a highly competitive race car.

The vehicle is provided in two separate formats:

Whilst fully compliant with the Sports 1000 series, it is also capable of being fitted with a variety of engines, allowing it to be a viable option for such varied uses as track-days, sprints, hillclimbs or differently powered circuit racing.
