Testing continued at Silverstone in November, though this session was the first full wet weather testing completed. Track conditions were tricky to say the least, but as the testing progressed and after changing springs and damper settings the car was “dialed in” with predictable and neutral handling.

Initial testing at Mallory Park in June went well, After several installation laps and minor adjustments to the damper settings it was evident that all the effort in preceding months had been to good effect. The handling was superb with only minor over steer on the exit of the hair pin, soon rectified by rear anti roll bar adjustments. In all areas the Retoga has excelled expectation with very neutral balance and easy driving characteristics.

The Retoga was at the May '05 Stoneleigh show, with the body shell sprayed in race colours and now a fully working prototype. Again we had excellent reviews and praise from the general public through to hardcore racers. The next step is to carry on with initial testing and begin production of the second and third chassis's for the next show.

The Retoga made it's debut showing at the 2004 Exeter kit car show. Initially shown as a unpainted body with the power of a Yamaha R1 bike engine, the Retoga made a huge impression on all who attended. Much praise was given and many independent racers were very interested in seeing the Retoga when in production.
