It probably means the same thing no matter what side. Either that or an electrical wiring fault.

That, I believe, is an overheating problem. Nothing major to worry about but unfortunately it won't get any better from there. They actually get hot enough to soften the solder on the boards in about 2 hours ish, switching it off and letting it cool down is the way to go, maybe moving it into some air flow would help it too. Also I can sort you out with your number plates if you want, GB and standard plates plus the whole set of characters in the correct font.

If it's ok with everyone I'm going to chuck a few cars in the club garage tonight.
Lotus Cortina, B500 with no Aero mods. I've (sort of) tuned it for Laguna and the shorter tracks, I've not lost a single race driving this car and it seems quite capable. Painted in the yellow and black of Dan Cox's HSCC car.
Datsun 240Z 432, C425 with front splitter. This car is a lot of fun to drive and quite tail happy but also very contollable (at least I think so) It's been slightly fettled for the longer tracks like Motegi and Infineon. Painted Metallic red with a black bonnet, classic and simple.
Aston V8 Vantage, A600 with no Aero. Tuned for Silverstone and Hockenheim. It's been in a few races and had some fairly good results, the V8 has plenty of grunt and it handles very well, but it's not as quick as some of the 1000+ hp cars some of you have. The paint for it is unfinished but it's based on the 1977 Le Mans entry.
Lastly, an Ascari KZ1R S700 another with standard Aero. A very light car with nearly 600HP, it's quite a handful but if you can keep it on the road it's very quick, especially around Road America and Silverstone. Painted as an A10 replica, again unfinished but will be updated eventually.
If anyone gets a chance to race them I'd be interested to hear what you think, I generally don't tune my cars but these I've spent a bit of time working on recently. I'll take some of the others I have out to make room as well.
Cheers
Fatty

Andy, I have tried out all your tunes you sent me but I can't do a mini review on them because my laptop keyboard doesn't work!
When it's working again I'll post them up.

Nice little write up fella, thanks. So far I've managed to try the B500 Tina and the C425 240zeeee. Both were great to drive but I didn't have as much control over the arse of the Cortina as I normally like so it took a few laps to get used to it so I'd maybe use that for hotlaps but only cos of my driving style (or lack of it) . I REALLY like the Zed, definite lobby winner in both C class and ABC's! Makes a lovely noise too:-) well done matey
