Jim you Post master.


Yeah your right, Wet or dry it will be fun.


But if its wet, i wont be able to touch ben, where if its dry i will. lol

 

If its wet i'll only being running .5 bar,anything more & it will be spinning up even in a straight line, the traction on my car in the wet is terrible & every fooker goes past me we need dry dry dry.

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.

 

Had a really good day luckily the weather was cool so no running hot problems for the erst r 888 worked well in the damp conditions.
A shame dan & bens cars had problems was looking forward to us all being out together, but did have good battle with chris in his golf.

 

I had a good day & enjoyed myself, enjoyed it more when it dried up a bit,stage 3 cossie + rain= though was suprised at the grip of the R888 in the wet turned boost down to 1.1 bar & did'nt have any issues with traction in the wet on lower boost. Dan's Fiesta is very impressive on track when it goes . Me & Jim seemed to miss each other out on the track all day,never got to have a little battle round with him. Managed to haul Chris in in the Golf ok then i pitted. Do'nt think my Cossie (or my driving) is as quick through some of the corners with exeption to Druids where for some reason i enter & exit very well making a bit of time up,mostly rely on the extra 100bhp i had down the straights See you all next time though i'm stoney broke at the moment

Simon.
