Hi, I think i am the only 100% active Ariel atom owner in sweden. i have drive about 10 000km on track in sweden sense 2008 so i have very god knowledge about the car and the setting,

If you create an account on www.autolife.se you have lots off trackday event in sweden, and we can stay in contact.

18 aug in Mantorp is it open pitlane i think it cost about 750 sek
  7 sep in Knutstorp ring open pitlane - cost 2000 sek (+vat 25%) inkl lunch, Instructors
1 okt - 3okt Gotlanring with openpitlane 2 okt - 6400 sek singel room or 8400 sek double room (inkl ferry, hotel, lunch, instructors)

I will go on Gotland and maybe mantorp and knutstorp.

On the road, when it's dark and raining and the car disappears, it's a really bad idea in my view (or not in my view, since I can't see it).

Yup, understand and agree, Bruce.

So, to that end, I'll:
1) aim to mitigate night-time driving in the first instance, as far as I can
2) use my lights 24/7 anyway
3) swap my panels over if I know I'm going to "have" to drive in the dark

Having the trailer should help, too (coming home from track days etc).

Cheers, Hedge

u didn't go for the black spandex carlos fandango flip over paint then?
HOw dissapointing!
I think black and CF looks good, though I am currently working on a custom paint job for mine with my mate who runs a paint shop in London.
Hoping it will be a bit like the 2008 Mclaren F1 colours, but painting the tub is apparently a real arse of a job.........well fitting it anyway.
