Sorry for not posting for a while but I was tied up with a new job and now the Christmas season is upon us so not much time.
I have been busy and have struck a deal with a company to build me a Constant Variable Transmission for the speed car. The company is CVTech-RD in Canada and make CVTs for snow mobiles. A young engineer there has designed the CVT and here is a quick mock up of the system

THis is just the preliminary model to show the main parts. The final version will have all the adjustments etc..
The system will be 60mm dia and 80mm centres. It will allow the car to rev from 0-35,000 rpm and from 0-25mph then stay at 35K and accelerate to 150mph maintaining 35K revs (Theoretically!)
I will design the car around the CVT. The layout will be 3 x .21 engines wit a possibility of 4WD but I might opt for rear only with long chassis and gyro steering.
