One problem solved

Got the car back from the tuners today. A split hose into the turbo was leaking all my power!! It was down to 160kws...... from 222!! A pity we couldn't find the problem ourselves. Also have to remove the gearbox and do some work on that. Hopefully off to the track shortly to do some testing.

Other news, the V8's are racing at Phillip Island again in November and Targa class has once again been called to fill one of the support categories slots. Fantastic If I can get over there, but a couple of obstacles stand in my way. Money and time off work.

Another Disapointment

I'm not sure If Ive done something wrong, but I cant seem to take a trick in the world of motor racing at the moment. It was another weekend of minor set backs that in the end robbed us of a possible round victory. It was a wet start to the day and
I tried a few setup changes that may of worked, but since I couldn't see where I was going, It came to nought. Having taken the heater etc out and having windows that I couldn't adjust, not to mention worn wiper blades, It was all I could do to stay on the track and not hit anything.

Anyway, It was mostly dry for the first race and indeed the rest of the day. One of the things I changed for the wet was the boost control. But that seemed to upset the car and it was never right for the day. I was well of the pace and indeed my own pace by about 3 sec's a lap. I had tons of grip but no GO. So what I could of done will remain a mystery for now.




In the end we could of won the round, as the eventual winner was around my potential pace and had a consistent day where as the runaway pace setters lost some places in the final.

So now its off to the tuner to get the power back and get ready for the next round in October. The gearbox has to come out too as there are some issues with 4th gear.
