I agree, trouble is the brakes and the map was enforced

Hopefully I won't be looking at the back of the field this Sunday like in this picture that's just popped up

Christine. has thrown a hissy fit AGAIN !

Getting ready for Thruxton this weekend, Pip kindly slotted me in for a Dyno run to sort a few things out for me and the Diff exploded !!! 😱

Here are the parts she spat on the floor 🤬
 I normally build my own diffs but this time I entrusted this one to a local transmission company and it would appear that the Crown Wheel bolts have come loose Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, no racing this weekend then  😢

Unbelievable bad luck! But, as you reported elsewhere, better this happened on the dyno than on track. Who knows what the result of that happening would have been

And a 2nd 2nd in the 2nd race! 🏁  Congrats!

Well done Clive. A superb brace of results 

I missed the first race as Gwyn and I were out, but followed the 2nd race live. Just brilliant to hear you and your car feature so frequently in the commentary (even if the commentator occasionally seemed to get your name wrong, "Mr Raynsford"  ).

... and the post race interviewer mistook you for Martin Reynolds too 

[boosted]

2 for 2 must be happy with that result.

Mr Raynsford Reynolds here 

Yes Jon,  Happiest I have been in a long time at a race meeting and here's the report you may have seen already with much more to come as even with the map not right we were pulling 146 mph down the pit straight  .


BTW bizarrely just by keep finishing I ended up 3rd in the Thunder Saloon Championship (Class A)


Real good event to end the season to go into 2025. Damn good hard racing against the many BMW M3's etc, ending up with two x second place wins overall. 🏆🏆

Couldn't match the pace of the Ex works Holden Aussie Supercar (pictured) but I joked to Alex that I at least kept him in sight in the second race.

Happyish with a 1.02 in both races, which means I got all the speed I could out of the car on the day, bearing in mind that it's still not fully mapped due to the diff exploding on the Dyno and is so super rich and petrol fuming, producing flames so big the car was checked before the second race to see if anything could catch light on the back of the car.
     
This picture shows the BMW M3 of Paul Watson that I fended off all day that gave me some really hard but enjoyable racing (the best I have had all year) He admitted that the only place he had any chance was Luffield and the only way he could get close was a real proper banzai on the brakes, but then could only follow me though as I know where to place my car so he couldn't dive bomb me, we both had a brilliant race though.  😀👍
