Wow. Your approach to rocket is a thing of wonder! You still running the R888R tyres? Are they very temperature sensitive or was the track greasy?

IT was terrible got it in to my head I could do it flat out from church I never managed it all day without a lift So my head was trying to do what my ability couldent Tires were past there best, in fact they went at pembrey ( lost the edge )but I couldent put my finger on what was wrong in the 6 laps

Lucky it went that way and not the other or you'd have seen the barriers.

That was already in my subcontiunous after the practice runs on the slippery service that if it goes just let it go in to the grass and don't attempt to hard to fight it

Things can be very unpredictable in high winds cold tires and brakes and no grip from tires

On the full lap it seemed to be losing grip on almost every corner.

Yes it was terrible This then had a knock on effect of me trying to over drive to make the difference up ( I know that impossible ) but didn't stop me trying, you have to be aggressive in these events And the car is just to much for what I'm trying to put through it in it's current state Yes this is going to get expensive

Why did the engine sound so bad after the spin?

[SteveA]

How did the brakes hold up?

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

Why did the engine sound so bad after the spin?

  It was a throttle body fault code in the eml but after I swithed the car off and back on it sounded sweet as a nut again even with eml still on so not really 100% why  

How did the brakes hold up?

I've not checked the car over steve and due to the lack of grip it seems hard to say, I think the brake buyest was a little further forward , Back at work tonight and doing over time this week so won't get a chance to look at the car until next week some time but will report back

Same thing happened to me at carlimits. You probably ran the engine backwards during your spin. In forward gear but car going backwards at some rate. Messes up the sensor readings but I'm sure others will have a better technical explanation. Nothing to worry about and clears itself.

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

Think your right pete

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

Probably going to call it a year for the car this year, start to get it ready for sprint series next year, if I stick with the R888Rs I'm going to need a new set every round as the grip from new is brilliant

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

Think I made it hard for more self yesterday going out on tire which I new were past there best

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

Here is my Church spin

[siztenboots]

backwards running can put exhaust gas into the intake manifold which takes time to clear.
