The company has a updated website however the motorcycle engine referance is no longer there however The rest of the range of rotary engines are still there. It's a pity because it had dyno results and a description of the engine.Regards wayne

Dyno results from an engine that never existed in complete, let alone running form? Not bad!

That is exactly what I meant- the bits of machined aluminium photographed in MCN were nothing but that. And, contrary to the cheap propaganda in MCN, not to mention certain websites, nothing anywhere near functional existed at the time and most certainly not in a Donington tin shed.

Hi fellow Rotary fans Check out these two web sitescrightonracing.comgiloindustriesgroup.comThe 700cc rotary looks great and I hope all parties make it happen and we can enjoy the outcome. Brian Crighton is a very talented engineer and he deserves recognition.Ride safeAndy smiley
