Good news is that after basically retiring from oulton when the engine developed a serious misfire during practice the car is now sorted and running again ready for Donnington. There are a few other more minor repairs to do in the next two weeks but hopefully they wont be an issue. I\'ve never been to donnington so it will be a case of doing my best to learn it in the first two sessions as there are no trackdays I can do between now and then.

Good news man.Fingers crossed for a better round this time for you.

Thanks bud, hoping for a smooth round mechanically so I can focus on figuring out how to get round the track lol!

TiddlesRX7 · August 31, 2013, 09:29:13 AM

Clockwise for a start!

What was up with it in the end then?

shaunwil · August 31, 2013, 09:52:10 AM

Wrong way round then, maybe plenty of people will have to re-learn the circuit !

Have you resolved the suspension feel as well, you where not getting used to the balance of the car on the new coilovers at Oulton ?

Glad you have got it sorted mate what was it in the end? Good luck for Donnington I\'m sure you quickly lean the circuit.

I\'m sure Donnington is clockwise. In fact i\'m certain it is thinking about it. Not that I\'ve actually driven it. The FC ain\'t allowed on there cause its too noisy!

It was the map sensor on its way out so it was screwing up the fueling, with the laptop plugged in it was reading ok though which was confusing.

I have the same noise issue with Donnington and am hoping they are a bit more relaxed for TA but I have an extra silencer if I need it.

I think donnington is one of the tracks on Grid so I might have to dig that out, all the best drivers learn the tracks from games.... honest!

Will66 · September 01, 2013, 01:14:05 PM

Donnington is definitely clockwise. Lots of right handers, big elevation change and very fast. It\'s a lot of fun in the RX8. Watch out for the camber on the fist left hander (Craner Curves?) it gave me a brown trousers moment when the back stepped out under power at 90mph.

Good luck tomorrow at Brands Hatch Neil :chat

I was planning to come along, until my son texted me this morning to ask me to come with him to view a used Audi A1 with him tomorrow. He\'s put a deposit on it at a local dealer and expects to buy it tomorrow (with dad\'s help :Laugh) if it checks out. So, sorry not to be able to be there to see the last round. I hope someone else can get along to take some pics and video.

It seems the Noble has got the Club RWD class sewn up, but it seems neck and neck between you and Umar in his FD for runner-up. Great to see two RX-7\'s doing well, and no disgrace to be lagging the Noble!

Again, good luck and let us have a "race report" later!

I was at Brands on Sunday and watched the FC run, looked good out there! Great to see rotaries competing.

Does someone have vids from that event?
