Two very short clips, both with flames

Great sound. And flames! 

[Mr Spiller]

Sounds bloody amazing
Oddly enough , shifts a bit too
Despite the gremlins , you must be made it it's driving well

As I know some may like to come along, we are back out Testing at Brands on Tuesday, so we can iron out a few more issues and scrub in some new tyres.

Excellent, I hope to get down for at least the morning

Test day. After a weird electrical gremlin, all sorted by hero Jim, first test run was great. Car sounded good and Clive happy. Unfortunately,session ended early due to a red flag. All set for next session pm.

Huge thanks for coming along today to Jim and Malcom and the help. Also great to see Andrew (Jinx) appear as well .

What was not to like...grey skies, freezing cold and raining...everything a race track is in my mind! Was glad to see my (and my username's) tactical withdrawal to the grandstand resulted in the gremlins giving up. It sounded very good as it howled down the straight. That silver BMW was quick though and sounded good too. If the Peugeot next door to you was 70k, I dread to think what the Beemer must have cost.
Economic downturn? Where?

Video from Phillip, thank you .

You will see me slow to let the Beemer catch up around 10 minutes in.

[Casey]

Nice one Phillip 

I'll bet you enjoyed that session, Clive 

Best viewed on full screen, with the sound turned up!

Thanks Malcolm.
It will be interesting to see how I fair against the Beemer in the dry when I have the map on "qualifying" mode

Why does it sound different in 3rd than 4th?...
Is 1 a straight cut gear and other not.

With more Torque I can change gear earlier, also I was changing even earlier into coming onto the main straight so I didn't light the tyres up, like the new spaceframe Peugeot did and wiped it down the barrier !  That's why it sounded different.
