Croft 16th July,  usual deal 105 db, open pitlane.

A chance to get those fd's out and used how they should be. Middle of July gives a good chance of a warm dry day.

A wee 5 sec teaser

Oil surge!!  Yep its a an issue and with anymore than around a  third up the dipstick I just empty it into the catch can.  I've now taken to running all trackdays with the oil level around 2 notches above the L on dipstick.

This way I get minimum mess amd only on extremely hard g corners do I get anything in the can.  Now on a full day I maybe 1/4 fill the litre catch can and get zero blowby on the day.  This also means next to zero smoke from the exhaust even on overrun,  I get flames but very little smoke even though the turbos are now " well used ".

Hope this helps Jon,

Great footage Neil. Weather looked cool but dry, great for low inlet temps. Loved this track last time I was there.

Feeling left out now, so off for a sulk until I have a car to play with on track  :'(

All the best Clive
