Default what a Fing good day at time attack

been at time attack, in the pits all day
had a great time

some serious machinery there,
learnt a fair bit.


1 thing i did notice was the amount of work gone into heat/air flow.
lots of heat wrap, vents, holes.... got me thinking
99% of them have turbo jackets (might be time to invest)

and 1 other thing, they all ran dump valves, but they didnt sound gay? what ones are they?

thoroughly enjoyed myself, cant wait for the next one.

by far the best "show" (if you can call it that) that ive been to.

tommy dropped out with driveshaft failure and somebody brought the wrong spares along so he was out, was struggling with understeer all day but had just changed geometry to see if he could improve when the shaft gave up,

you either couldnt hear em over the other noise or was hearing other stuff, all dump valves sound almost the same.

most run dog boxes etc so gearchanges are so fast youd not hear em like you do on a road car, and with induction and exhaust noise that loud, its even less likely.
