My first track day in the Ultima and my first at Silverstone.

Couple of laps of the full GP back in June.

Looks like you were having fun. Nice track to play on isn't it?

What is the red light to the left of the stack dash? Seems to light up on long corners.

I had to watch that twice because I kept getting distracted by what looked like the oil light on most corners. I hope that wasn't the oil light.
Pretty nice cornering though. Looked good.
What was the red car that you moved over for around the 4 minute mark?
The red car was a Ferrari 458 GT racer on slicks driven by a pro...... seems I needed to brake about 200 yards earlier for each corner !

The light is the oil light..... On right hand corners. Running accusump which kept things under control (stack tell tale never dropped below 20 psi) but had the stack warning set above the accusump switch point. Set it back below and the light no longer on. Showed me the accusump was doing its job... But shows that dry sump would be a better option for extended track use.

Thanks for the answers. I kept wincing every time the light came on.

Spotted Stefano (845ste) @ Monza in a trackside video. Not sure what you've done to the engine to get it to bark fire like that on the up shift but it certainly grabs attention!

He shows up in the first minute or so https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_-4VWMEsYc

ciao Will, you have been very quick to find the video.biggrin
I removed the kat and I retarded the cams of a sign on the adjustable pulley: previously was anticipated by two signs.
unfortunately I can not remove the back-fire acc releasing.frown
I tried varying the injection stage ignition, with fat / lean fuel, but can not eliminate it.
so I do not like.
I also believe it is dangerous
But now it's much fast and the engine revs much more quickly hehe

You'll need to look for a setting like "Fuel cut on over run", where the throttle is closed, engine rpm is greater than 1500 (might need to adjust this number), set injectors to off or injection time to 0. Basically cut fuel injection when it's not needed.

Benefits to fuel injection on overrun: cools cylinder heads, helps keep turbo spooled (if equipped), makes large fire balls

Benefits to fuel cut on overrun: gain 3-4% fuel efficiency, reduce intake wall wetting, better emissions

Thanks very much Will, but I with MegaSquirt I have already activated the cut-off.
I think it's a problem with the retard position of the cam (phase): crossover valves that remain open.
or I suppose I should put kat who break the flame frown

I've watched your video on youtube a number of times... I'm ready for more videos when you can get them posted. There's a distinct lack of Ultima content out there!

What are the air intake towards the rear of the clam for? Car looks great and just a shame there wasn't more footage of it.

Cool flames smile

Mine does that too, partly down to cam and the associated overlap I believe.

Found a couple more videos of an Ultima turning a wheel in anger...

Not sure which track this is but the driver knows it well

Same driver, this time its Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, one of my favorite tracks
