<div style=3D"">to answer Mike=E2=80=99s earlier question, I recall, maybe 5=
-6 years ago, seeing Jim Dolan at Summit Point in the carousel in either the=
Group 44 GT6 or the Kastner GT6, and one of his rear wheels going past him.=
I think he had five laps on the Rimmer
or Canley assembly and the hub sheared off. Fortunately a low speed p=
art of the track. Not sure if that was a one-off, and he subsequently w=
ent on to run them without trouble. Perhaps the Dolans can chime in as=
to what they run on their numerous GT6s and
what this failure was.<br clear=3D"none">

<div>The question is which model GT6 you have, Mk1 and MK3 cars have swing a=
