Chris. You going to trailer the car there for the event ? Good luck with the balls deep session, when is it

I think you mean the sprint at croft Not sure yet mark I have access to a trailer so might end up using it But I've always liked the idea of driving there doing the event and driving back Just getting cadwell out of the way at weekend then start making plans for croft

Packed and ready for cadwell Seems strange having 25 litres of water as a passenger

[chickendippers]

Pb at cadwell is 1.41.7 in the vx, track was completely empty. Will pop up on Sat afternoon if I have time as only 10 minutes away

Bloody hard circuit that Lovely day though and it al came good

You are so close to getting that car working how you want mate. Cadwell certainly shows weakness in cars and drivers! Gutted that's the last battle we will have for a while as it was no real battle and expected a full high power SC vs moderate turbo battle but you never turned up 😛

Lol I'm more than happy with the way the day went got a handful of laps below the target of a 1:43 It's certainly a track that next time there will be more to come I'm not down best actual lap of the day was a 1:42.227 and that was with traffic yet again Will sort some videos out tomoz And the predictive best lap was 4 tenths quicker Next time I go I'm sure a 140 is more than possible there are a few areas today where I bottled it which cost me a lot of time

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

One of the later runs Plenty of time still to come with more time at cadwell hn

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

Last run

[mbes2]

Is this the track your doing the sprint event at ? Crossed our minds for 2018 Woodbridge events in the mgtf. Looks fun

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

No it will be croft

Cadwell round up 

started off with just trying to follow kamikaze George   around as he has a lot more experience round cadwell than me, i only stayed with him because of traffic early on,

had to do a few sessions without the water injection which because i was using the road map was 30-40hp  down on my water map

because the fast acting valve jammed open just pooring the water in (manage to sort during a red flag when someone dropped oil everywhere) 

 

mid day i still hadent gone below a 1:45 and thought this is not going to happen today, did get any kind of rhythm going 

 

after lunch started to get a bit more brave and broke the target time a few times, -1:43

didnt get the swallow kneck  right all day,

and also looking back should of kept in in 4th gear down the start finish straight right through to the end of the long straight rather than dropping in to 3rd i would say i was losing a second around there every lap 

 

i didnt feel very confident on the brakes all day and ended up braking far to early 

 

overall im happy beat my target time and confident i could go quicker weather permitted next time i go there (next target 1:41.5) 

happy days

the way i was driving it it was certainly swallow lol

Did the power break in during the day or did the WI save your power?

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

When the fast acting valve failed I turned of the wi off for a few sessions And the power just got drained and drained After I got it working again the power was there all through the session with no issues with power pulling I will have to drop aquamist a email and see if they have had it before
