Clive's 400 BHP Super GT RX-8 Race Car

[Will66]

Very jealous of those at Brands tomorrow for many reasons, this amongst them!

[clive]

Is it ready for tomorrow?  Have you got to run the engine in?

Loaded up and ready to go, all is explained above Jon:Thumbs-up

Barring problems I expect to be droning round and round initially while we get some more miles on while mapping.

I will say that if it had not been Powergains dedication to the project helping iron out teething problems on Wednesday we would have lost all our track time tomorrow.

As I put it rather than being excited ATM I am real apprehensive because I do not know what else may jump out at me bearing in mind I have had many new build race cars in the past.

Hopefully by tomorrow night we will know if a, we have any "new" problems facing us,  and b, if I have put together a package that will ultimately be competitive given testing time to start dialing the car in.  

Bolted on a brand new set of Yokohama A048\'s Friday, a bit earlier than intended but then my old  A048\'s had turned a bit concrete like and were just about worn out anyway --------- now we are getting serious
