Hope it's something which can be fixed in time for the last race

Nice work, I knew replacing the coolant with holy water would help. :sign0098:

Lol - who needs "evans" when you can have a higher power supporting your race car

Epic drive Clive Shame Brands only had one camera working today as would have liked to have seen more track action but to finish 14th must have felt good given the earlier issues.

Thanks for the comments and support, it is appreciated.
What is also appreciated is the work Jim Steve and Pip have put in to make all the mods to work together.

Having never driven the Grand Prix track before, it's a real shame about the first race, because had I had the first race to get to grips with the surprisingly technical GP section, I think I could have maybe pulled 3 seconds off my time just from getting more from where the braking points were for the car. The idea of that second race was to get a full run to the end and bring it home in one bit. Mission accomplished, finally, roll on Snetterton on the 17th/18th September.     
All the best Clive

Good results Clive. Glad you tamed her in the end
