I have transformed my circut car from drag racing mode back into circut mode . I have preped it and re-scaled the car and will head to Wakefield park on Thursday for an advanced driver training day . I have no idea what I am in for but am looking forward to a big day of technical stuff . I have some new soft Yokohama tyres thanks to CT and I will let you know what the day is like , ROD.

You'll need some thermal undies, Rod - it will be COLD at W.P.

Second thoughts - you may need a spare pair [depends on how well the car handles]😂

Well , after a full day of testing @ wakefield park on thursday , I can now report that I think I have broken the transmission . I turned almost 40 laps with small adjustments to the car after every 5-6 laps . I would like to say a big thanks to CT Hanson , as the new soft Yokohamas are really good and I now have lots of grip in the front end . I was adjusting tyre pressures slowly throughout the day and it was getting better with every run . With a top temp of 8 degrees I was having trouble getting any temp into the engine with an oil temp bearly getting to 70 degrees . The cylinder temps were lucky to reach 300 degrees and the tyre temps at around 90 degrees . I will pull the engine out today and see if I can rebuild it before next weekend , ROD.
