I thought it was a good show and got some really good stuff very cheaply!

And managed to blow up my 998t. Looks like a head gasket failure. Limped it home and it pissed oil out everywhere so that's that engine doa

I bloody hope so!!! I'll start ripping it out tomorrow. Richard is VERY kindly finishing the engine off tomorrow - I'm picking it up at 6. Should be in Monday night, if everything goes to plan!!

Exactly what happened to me as well at coombe, big wad of blue smoke and lost boost, seemed to pick up again but back at the stand was puffing oil out of every orifice.

considering it was sliding sideways at a fair rate on the grass with a tyre off the rim ,i think its lucky you didnt end up with a cigarette instead of a mini *smiley*

Mansfield - Notts

Spotted your car on that session matty, you had a flat as you went past us on the straight. Hope your boot didn't get too damaged either!

Show was alright, glad I went again this year. Best bit for me, some dude sat filling his sign on forms in, blocking Bill Richards getting through the barriers, Bill just revving the nuts off his racer for about a minute to try an get this bloked attention.

I had a really good day.

Managed 4 sessions in all, the car went and cornered really well and best of all I only got caught by about 7 cars all day - though was driving on the ragged edge most of the day and using every inch of the rev limit. My mate blew his gearbox up on his 3rd session so was forced to retire.

It seemed to me that attendence seemed a little down compared to previous years, though not too sure really.

The sound test guys pissed me off as they were holding the exhaust probe right in the exhaust rather then half a metre away like theyre supposed to, so this forced a frantic change of system before my first session.

I'll get some pics up when my friend emails me.

Warwick.

sure 1380rich will be along to say his piece about those guys... even merlin motorsport guys were saying how they seem unable to test correctly
we even had a tape measure out and they were holding it about 30-40cm away

Yeh, one of our members had an issue with those guys, we always thought the limit was 105 db, they recorded 102 and wouldnt let him on saying it was over the 100db. Same exhaust, same engine spec as last year and he was well under then.

I thaught it was 105, but I have looked back at the info from combe for the last threes years ans it has always been 100db

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

Right then I'll write a letter to the circuit. If this was not an isolated incident then there is clearly a basic staff training issue on a matter that had the potential to fuck up a lot of peoples days. They were grumpy bastards as well doing the testing.

They wouldn't let me on claiming my car was at 105db held at 40cm from the exhaust, at 50cm away it was 102 and they still refused to let me on. the maximum it's ever reached on a drive by is 75db

Needless to say I won't be going back!
Rant over :)

Thats total crap - there was a black mini out there making a hell of a noise and the 205 was really loud (though extremely fast and tidy.
