Hi there,

we have published a new video, a teaser of our new car: http://www.amzracing.ch/amz/video.ort

We're continueing our tradition of naming our cars after mountain passes. After Albula and Maloja, we're building Simplon this year.

You find pictures of manufacturing here: http://www.amzracing.ch/amz/ga...il.ort?folder_id=738

Thomas,

From the few brief photos it looks like you guys have once of the absolutely sweetest workshops ever, with the big windows and the nice view, looks well lit too.

Your '09 parts look fantastic too. I wish I'd thought of the step-toothed balljoint carrier mounts!

Also, I dig the Yael Naim in your video!

Best,
Drew

It has been proposed that we name the car after my girlfriend, so that I can spend all my time with her.

Hi Drew,

thanks for the kind words. I wish that workshop was ours, but it's our main sponsor's apprentice's workshop. We don't even have a vice at the moment.

Yes, teeth are great for adjustability. I hope they work as planned.

You guys are so lucky to be able to work in a shop with such a beautiful view, even if it isn't yours. Then again I guess we're lucky to have our own shop, even if it's four floors underground, next to a retired (I hope) nuclear reactor. Beautiful work, will you guys be at Michigan?

We'll be at Silverstone and Hockenheim this year. Going to the US or Australia is not planned (yet), we first need enough money and people to handle the European events. If we can get some sponsers for it and a place to stay, I'd love to attend an overseas event.

Hey guys,

check out the pictures from yesterday: http://www.amzracing.ch/amz/ga...il.ort?folder_id=738

We're finally putting the car together for our rollout later this week.
