Small update, had a trackday at Silverstone over the weekend.
Weather was perfect and the car felt great. Since the last update I have installed a Water Methanol Injection system to try and keep the intake temperature's down as I was previously suffering from detonation at higher revs once the car was hot.

Everything was going well until early afternoon when I entered Becketts at around 110mph, applied the brakes and nothing.. Brown pants indeed!
Managed to turn in and keep it out the gravel so thankfully no cosmetic damage. Turns out the auxiliary belt had melted, cooked the alternator and wiring before subsequently snapping and taking out the brake servo. Not ideal but could have been a lot worse!

I will get cracking with the repair this week as I'm back out at Castle Combe this weekend. I will need to have a look into the heat issue over the winter and possibly fabricate a heat shield of some description as I'd like to avoid butchering the bonnet if possible.
