Had this all pretty much spot on for ORS yesterday. Had sorted the exhaust, cleaned it up nicely and put some finishing touches to the car. As it was going out on track fro the first time also i gave it a good check over last weekend and also Friday night. Topped up the coolant, topped up the oil and doubly checked over the car.
Arrived at Goodwood with plenty of time too spare. Got setup and signed on. Passed noise testing at 94db and went for the drivers briefing. Was second out on track with Tim leading. By the 4th corner he had gone :smile: Took it steady the first lap and then onto the second. Felt amazing, diff doing its job perfectly, engine pulling very hard through the corners, felt great about the following sessions.
Came out of the chicane on the second lap on to the pit straight in 3rd. Foot down and already a noticeable drop in power, 4th its really really not liking it. Before i know it the engine in tapping around 2k. Immediately get it on to 5th and coast the rest of the lap. Limp it back to the pits 😧
Unsure what has happened but seems like it got starved of oil. Not happy as i had planned to get it to Rentech for Mike to give it a oil change before ORS..... How im regretting that now :rage: Will be getting it to Mike ASAP to see whats the damage. As you can probably see i hae sunk a lot of money into this in the past 3 months so it might be off the road for a while. Especially if it need major works.
I wont be doing the work myself this time round either.
I don't like updating this thread without pictures so here is one for a couple of years ago in Wales.
