Steve,
Jim had a good day, and car run fine.
an believe him and his mate a white Golf race car were doing 1.00 -1.01's
But that cant be said about my day,
-09.05 sighting laps,
-09.20 out for 1st blast,
-9.25ish rad split, but didn't realise till all coolant had gone (about half a lap)
-09.30 - 11.45 searching around for a motor factor, and new rad.
-12.00 back at brands with new rad.
-12.15 testing cooling system, then on and off the track testing the cooling system. and all seemed fine
-12.45 - 12.55 hard on it, but after 3 laps coolant got tooo hot (100oC) (new rad was nowhere near as good as old one, done a cool down lap, than had a blast with Simon and a pulser, but Coolant rocked to from 95 -110oC in half a lap. so gave it 2 cool down laps and went back in the pits.
-12.55 reliesed its pressureised itself.
-14.15 went back out and after 2 laps brought it back in, and coolant system was at 90oC but pressureised,
-16.45 went out again for 3 more laps, after checking car over (believe the heads slightly warped from the rad leak).
But did
managed a 1.02's in the damp on road tyres on low boost at around 12.50.
and then managed a 1.01:2 and a 1.01:7 @ 16.45 on dry track, but spitting, and cold road tyres.
Also My brother had a oil leak from the turbo oil feed @ 15.10 ish which brought a end to his day.
But i had 20 mins driving of it between 14.20 - 14.50, which was a bonus. and managed a 59.7 on 2nd outing, did go faster in 1st outing, but no lap timer fitted, As well as i Got a Black flad for Tyre sqeew.
and told to slow it down.
my Brother then took it out, (1st time in the complete dry for him) but after 3 hot laps and still getting faster, it started smoking on over run,
which ended up being oil feed to the turbo was leaking all over the exhaust. Even tho Ben tried, couldn't get the car fixed. So that was his day over too.
He managed 1.00:4 and a 1.00:7 on the 2 laps upto the oil leak.
i think Ben would of got into the low 59's if the oil leak didn't happen.
And as for me, think i would of done 59's with the road tyres, and 58's if i got to run with my slicks.
