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

[seanp]

Great news Clive. Sounds like a well developed car, with usable power - and a surprising amount of 'stockiness'
Hopefully your ironed out all the gremlins and can concentrate on getting the results you deserve, rather than a constant stream of issues.
I hope to make it along to a few of your races this year.
Best of luck!

Great news.

Engine spec is really interesting.  And because of those electrics, I cant imagine how difficult this swap has been.

But I have to ask, why you choose light weight flywheel? I imagine that normal would be better for that kind of car. Would be interesting to see differences between them...

Woohoo! Epic commitment! I salute you sir Felix Wankel would surely make you 1 of his disciples !

Light flywheel allows the car to rev faster surely?

Is 10psi enough to compete with those two monstrous nissans from last year Clive?

[C J R]

Brilliant news...well done to all concerned.

Thanks Guys,

Grant we will have to wait and see, excellent thing about the car is we can find more if needed,

I will know so much more after next week, just need a nice reliable event then we can go from there.

When you get a schedule for the 11th at Rockingham Clive, can you post details up here, or a link please? I will try and get along if I possibly can 

[clive]

There is a link somewhere , I will try and find it in the morning

I am booked and paid for the test session on the Friday and will post if I have any issues to save anyone. The trip

Not meaning to sound negative but I only going to be 100% ok till I finally hit the track for real on the Friday

Post from Casey:-

Just had a call from Clive....

Car was going well in test session at Rockingham today. He ran several sessions in the morning, including one at race distance. Clive had been tuning the suspension to suit the track and all was going well. This afternoon the car developed a problem, such that he will not be competing tomorrow. I won't go into any details, as I'm sure Clive will post up later.

Just wanted to make sure anyone thinking of going tomorrow is aware that Clive won't be there - he's on his way home now.

Paul Buckmaster and Phil Collard in their RX-7's are still expecting to compete though.

Really feeling sorry for Clive
