Amazing car. As someone else has already said it appeared to be so smooth. Definitely got more to come from this beast. Also loved the red Cossack mk2.

Ideally it wants the ratios changing if its on the limiter that early, can't see you having any problems smashing out a 9 if its still pulling at the 1/4 like it was on the 1/8 at CF !

We've got the opportunity to get some more time at the pod next week so we're going to explore a number of different options

Most importantly, Wenny gets more seat time and hopefully can perfect the launch!

What are the two lambda's for?
is it possible for you to miss a gear with the current box as it sounded like it had missed a gear or not changed fast enough 3rd or 4th on your last run on sunday?

If you havent seen this car in the flesh you REALLY must!

The car bounces off the line and accelerates like nothing ive ever seen before

Two lambdas in there are both widebands. One is for Wennys AEM gauge in the car and one of them was for my AFR monitoring/logging equipment.

problem is that a parachute would give the game away and the fact it looks like a standard escort is part of the magic

Do you not think the cat is out the bag and most people know about the car

I'm not 100% sure but if he gets a low 9 he may have no choice, maybe someone could clarify the ruling?
