thanks jim , i really enjoyed that ,.the data on the overlay is a great idea.

it revs a lot lower than i expected ,and pulls well too.

was that jumping about torque steer or bumpy track ?

Rob,

One step at a time mate! I can manage it in my road car, but there was just too much going on in a car I'm not use to driving for that.

I think the weaving all over the place was a combination of torque steer and a bumpy track, I think a smoother track and it should be managable.

Rob, engine will rev nicely passed 8k, but with all the torque low down, there is no need to rev the bollox off it.

leeds/wakefield.

set your idle at 200 rpm, you'll have to heal and toe to keep the thing running whilst doing gear changes,lol,

worked for me 25 years ago on my mk 1 Escort with fooked carb,learned the art a treat.

Funily enough thats does work! I learned a bit of heel toeing on the way home from MITP when mine wouldn't idle. *laughing*

Looks good Jim. We have driven Llandow a couple of times in the TT and we used the extra bit round the tower instead of the tyres. I have to say that less power and more grip, in the TT, makes it much easier to drive then it looks in your car.

Good to see you car in it natural environment though, keep it up.

Ben, what times did you get around Llandow on the full track? (with bus stop chicane). If my car is anyway near your speed I'll be a happy man.

When Sollis took mine around there a few weeks back he wa getting 47sec laps (road tyres)

next time your in Llandow give me a shout, it's about 5 mins from my house.

It was a couple of years ago that we went and it was a sprint event so our time will mean nothing to you. Basically we started just out of the pits and into the complex, then 2 laps and off at the pit entry. I think it was around 90 or 95 seconds, but I could be wrong.
