Quick update, i'l get some damage pic's when i can.

I broke a shaft which in turn broke a box 2 day's before.

I changed the shaft, then the day after realised I had to change the box.

Anyway finally got to map it and got a puncture on the m1. I got home about half 11 on sat night. Got up at 6 to finish mapping on sunday and broke the turbo (very bent shaft, smashed core etc) The shaft stop so quick the nut came off the impellor side.

So with a new turbo fitted at the side of the M18 on the way to TOTB we set back off, did about 5 miles of mapping and thought we'd got it pretty good.

Car was slow on the day, only managed 112 over the line, and was running rich.

I did 4th in handling (on my first go, and then spun on the second go with no time to do a 3rd run)

And 7th in drag. 12.53 at 110mph. The car was going pretty good off the line, just had no power (was really rich in 4th, higher boost levels)
