The sound is my camera picking up something from the ignition; the frequency gets higher as I accelerate :D

(EDIT: actually, there are several high pitched sounds; one, as above, two; the RX-8 8,500rpm "change up now" beep and three; my Rspec coolant gauge warning at 112 degrees!)

There aren\'t many corners, but the main ones; Quarry, Tower and Camp are all high speed with little room for error - no "namby-pampy" gravel traps here. A mistake and it\'s a solid hit to a tyre wall (if you\'re lucky!) or concrete pit wall. "Sicknote" took an unfortunate excursion at "Tower" last year in Kermit, hence Kermit II is now taking shape.

According to the safety briefing, "Quarry" has the reputation of having 25% of all accidents across all corners at all British Race circuits. It\'s a very tricky corner approached at insane speed :Laugh

I think it\'s the ignition I can hear. The other 2 I prety much new what they were:)

I\'ve got the same camera and it picks up a whine from either the alternator or ignition somewhere, sounds like a Mini\'s gearbox.

Apparently putting details of your car spec in your signature means the nice folks on exile-rotorsport think you\'re a fool.  I can think of no higher compliment!
