The intention is to get IVA on the replica, so the 917RSK’s can be used both on the road and track. But we can vary the specification for individual customer requirements, to suit either road or track use. The IVA has many requirements, but the advantage of having a fully surfaced CAD model, is that I can set-up vision and lamp requirements in CAD, which allows us to position mirrors and lamps to meet the requirements. Also for IVA we will use a heated glass screen, to avoid the additional weight of heater blower etc. And tyres are a major challenge, as need a road legal tyre with correct markings, for a 15” rim diameter. But we have some options.
