Russ, issues on Thursday was ignition, I thought I had fixed that on Friday & Saturday.

Jezza, I had big whiteline bars in there before & a couple of weeks ago I went back to the standard bars to soften things up a bit. R180 mechanical diff with a DCCD 6 speed. I was turning 245 AO50's, it's just the amount of power the car has & the lead weight I have on my right foot

What controller have you got for the DCCD? I have a late model DCCD 6 speed that I need to chase something down for. Also have the 2 way r160 mechanical rear that is giving the tail end a bit of energy that I am yet to test on the track.

What setting have you gone for on the DCCD with that much power? Assuming you stray away from setting towards the rear?

Simon looks like fun (insert handful!) to drive.

Hard to comment but maybe try getting up a gear in every corner and using the torque rather than frying the tyres with the power.

I watched it twice looking at your revs and you are above 5000 most of the time and changing down to get into that area.

Get up a gear and lean on the lateral grip of the tyres, then the respective power won't overwhelm the grip + less gear changes etc.

Hard concept to deal with as it seems as though you are going slower with the engine not revving its tits off but I bet it will make you faster.

Other wise looks fun, hope the engine is not too terminal

The ao50s were hanging on for dear life. The left hander coming across the two skidpans had Simons rear right tyre almost doubling under itself.

I was waiting for the bead to break and sparks to ensue.
