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

Must do somthing about that mirror!

Wow that was close with the team Hard car! Seeing the video, I'm now miffed about not realising the car should have been quicker down the straights in quallyfying because had I changed the plugs and had the power I then had in the second race I would have at least got the two if not three in front of me

Thanks again, shame I didn't get the rear camera to turn on as you would have seen the second place car floating around the back of me for most of the race,

Another couple of great videos - thanks for getting them up so quickly Philip 

Sorry I was unable to get any recording of the race commentary at the track. The speakers were not operational in the only place people could view the track and take pictures. Most normal viewing areas were closed off. Even if the speakers were working, I suspect the commentary would've  been drowned out by the noise of the cars on circuit anyway!

Just watched the first race on the big screen with a curry on my lap.

No previous insight into snetterton, looks twisty.

I know you've been fiddling with radiator ducting, but have you changed your bonnet Clive? got a bit of high speed lift on the trailing edge.

Need that camera to work then your video man can do some editing wizardry magic so it looks like your rear view mirror

Had a look at the start date of this thread... 2012 8 years building and developing the car just amazing

Thanks Grant,
And yes Wayne, slicks for Thunder Saloons.

Im never afraid of a challenge and hope to be at least competative, after all this is the fastest saloon championship in the UK with these huge money monsters racing below.

p.s. off to Pip's again on monday to make sure the car is tip top

Thats exactly what they are Grant, god knows how much they paid for these type of Race Cars----------these are not converted saloons, these are ground up race cars   .

Bonnet is the same one modded, Malcolm has some good pics of it.  Jim (Lennycarlof) is talking about installing some pressure sensors and linking them into the ECU but it all whooshed over my little head
