Might happen if someone leaves a freshly chilled crate of Strongbow at the finish!

Winning Class D is going to be difficult- Logan has Gary's old PPG/Ikeya 'box now, Ross is using his mental '6 in Sprint spec, and Gary's won't be the only Evo running the Geartronics kit.

Truely awesome in every way and the fact that Gary is such a down to earth bloke just makes it even more special:thumbs:

Can we use it for Time Attack now Gary:o

got chance to go do couple hours of testing last night at snetterton.
was first time out on nitrons,different brakes,and of course Geartronics paddle shift.
was blown away with changes to car and once i get some more time in it im sure it will get some results.
heres a short vid of lap.

Sounds like a rifle shot from inside the car........but seemed to work very well last night.....when it was all working properly it just sounded seemless.... was good to see it flying round...

today was first msa sprint for me and Apt evo at lotus test track,

2 pratice runs and we dialed in better launch control,ready for timed laps.

1st timed lap and we get with in 1/2 sec from logan so pleased,135mph down straight,its going to be a fast track for mlrss!.

2nd timed lap and more bad luck,car cuts out displaying nasty sign! (low oil pressure).
this is what we found.

pas pump has got big end float,thrown aux belt,this has removed dry sump belt hence the engine cutting,i dipped clutch as soon as i saw lights so hopefully some simple checking of shells and some new parts.

got to love motorsport!
