Hey people ,
 
In shakedown on fri , hennings words were , " tomorrow we go flat out "
however
 
Bad times , the car covered 4.2 miles in the first stage on fri night  and stopped running.............
 
The supplied GPS units , gave the car a major electrical fault , switching the msd units on and off , all the gauges went off and the car came to a stop ..
 
The gps suppliers are looking into the fault , and have said that the magnetic field caused the gps unit interfear with the cars electrics , causing it to stop running ..
 
So the car is back in the uk , engine is now stripped and its not , good , rota bearing fallen apart , destroyed housing , apex seals all chipped ,side seals welded to rota\'s, oil pump collapsed ,  and castings have bad heat marks , .......pics to follow soon , will give an update soon.....

Yeah that\'s a REX for sure but doesn\'t look anything like "B20 GPB" from Silverstone Autosports.

A real shame guys, we feel for you too.
The car looked really awesome when I saw her and deserved to have been up there with the leaders - if not at the top of the score card.
Better luck next time - oh and suggest that you take your own GPS next year.
