russ

[Russ Rallye]

Thanks dan, appreciate that. Its nice to see something you've built from a shell come good. Just needs some refining now along with my driving!

Looked like you and Tony were very even overall, he ran wide/locked up on oil twice in r1 and you had to use the escape on turn 2 twice in r2. That was the decider in each round really. Your diff looks to give you so much pace out of corners!

 

[Keith185]

Article in Performance French Car magazine about the Tricolore Trophy (French Trophy) not sure if you've seen this Tony

 

[dinger]

Thats the worst and most informative write up I've ever seen,, £3995 for a car including race fee's for the year!

Not even in the motorsport section as they promised

 

[Tony Hunter]

Less than 4k, you got to joking.

 

[Adam G]

Isn't that the one that Steve had to write himself?

 

[Tony Hunter]

more than likely lol.

 

[Adam G]

I think he was referring to the Arrive and Drive packages.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Having not read it, I can't really comment. Still think you would struggle to do it for that.

It was like this weekends race programme, had some pictures of some random saxo's, nothing to do with TA or French Trophy/Tricolore Trophy.

 

[2Damnsly Andy]

Nice going in the races Tony.

 

[SharkyUK]

Congrats Tony (and Russ). Great racing chaps

 

[BIGASH]

Good day yesterday thanks for having me and sorting me a ticket will get the race 2 video up as soon as I get time one night this week.

 

[Tony Hunter]

No problem James, pleasure as always.


Thanks Andy&Andy.

Oil from the yellow Renault 5?

Oil from the yellow Renault 5?

Think it was the 205 that went pop

 

[Matt@codered]

Ah right Mr Mitchell's 205?

 

[Dan519]

No that finished just behind Tony, there was one that suffered a terminal failure in a big cloud of white smoke. Sounded like something exiting the block from the other side of the circuit

There was two Mitchell's Dan, brother I can only assume. Lol

 

[Matt@codered]

Father and son.

 

[Jay Payne]

There was two Mitchell's

Grant and Phil?

 

[dinger]

Nope,

That would be my pit crew, James and Paul, lol

 

[Jamie86]

Knew i'd seen them before!


As per text Tony congrats!

What happened to Ian though?

 

[Tony Hunter]

Lost a tooth off the flywheel! crank sensor didn't know what to do.

 

[msa197]

Ian's car stopped in qualifying did 7 laps, then took 4 hrs to find tooth broke off on fly wheel!

Beaten to it!

 

[Tony Hunter]

Ha.

 

[Jamie86]

Oops, was it a standard flywheel as well?

 

[msa197]

Think so, just lightened abit.

 

[Russ Rallye]

No race vids yet tony?

[sonny172cup]

So the flywheel housing bolt has came lose causing it too pull on the thread, causing the tooth to break off?

 

[sonny172cup]

Great racing Tony, nice one handed action at 10:10

Not a bolt was a locating pin.

 

[Russ Rallye]

Race 2 looked a lot less eventful from your drivers seat than it did from mine! Any footage of race 1?

[Tony Hunter]

Great racing Tony, nice one handed action at 10:10

The other hand was on the handbrake, went in a little hot and was trying to just balance the the car.

Thanks James for doing vid for me.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Ians car actually had a locating dowel missing from the gearbox, so when it was tightened up, it was not perfectly in line.

This was causing a small vibration which eventually shook the clutch to bits, then a small bit of it broke a tooth on the flywheel, this has now been fixed, and is now running as sweet as a nut. (unfortunatly).

Its often the little things that dont seem important that turn out to be later on!

At least its sorted.
