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

Thanks for persevering to get this footage 

Wow, You  can see the initial torque grunt from the 3litre beemer, then Rotary Power Kicks In

Great race from the back of the grid and a really exciting finish - and despite the gearbox. Well done!   
Btw wonder what's under the bonnet of that yellow/white Anglia. Held its ground amazingly well, unlike those rather pedestrian Escort mk1s.

No idea whats under the bonnet, the thing is you can have any engine, you can't see on the video, but he stayed with me down the straight till we got onto the brakes. One Escort even has a TVR engine under the hood!

Thanks Philip for taking the time to post up the videos 

Great to watch Clive battling through the field - a great tussle with the Anglia!

What a great finish too

Dont know Jon,it was OK after that
Trouble is every time you kill the main switch it clears out the codes,
New type of ECU next year so it won't do it agin then.

What ecu are you going for Clive?

Thank you for the comments.
With no qualifying or track time, I had no chance to set the car up or try different things to get some speed.
Just happy that after a rubbish saturday I got a race on sunday with no issues.

Still not happy with the gearbox so its going to come out for a rebuild

Will you see the season out or refer back to the  old set up ?

Not sure which one yet Grant, could be a Life unit, Motec or an other.

Wayne, changing back for Mallory as I know I wont get the car in gear for the hairpin, then hopefully if the dog box is rebuilt it will be back in for Brands 6th & 7th November

All ready to go for tomorrow, New canards fitted to get some front end grip back, plus reverted to my old gear box just for this race, Second picture is so people coming along can find the car
