One day I'm going to get black flagged 
(Every gear change and throttle lift/braking)
Do you know what causes it? (Every gear change and throttle lift/braking)Roger Connells (TSCC) kick out huge sheets of them - Awesome. Does not mean the car is not setup well.
It's setup that way deliberatly - obviously the car runs a rotary engine and these normaly have a metering pump to feed oil into the combustion mix to lubricate the rotors. I don't have that as it can fail, so I mix some oil into the fuel. But that means when I lift off I still need some fuel injected to ensure the rotors are being lubricated. Mix that with the way a rotor shifts air, a very hot turbo and a hot exhaust and voila. Looks awesome on an overcast race - lights up the track! It's all in the engine mapping for mine. It could be leaned off a bit but I like to be noticed 
The Dtype carbs must have some jetting that is feeding the fuel when the throttle is shut down (can't remember the jets for this -long time since i looked at a carb). Don't think heel and toe will cause it on it's own - got to be jetting.

The only problem after posting i couldn't post anymore???
If i was to put [pic] infront of a photobucket link would that work?
Excuse my ignorance but i've only had the camera a while so still on the learning curve regarding posting photo's

A few from this year. All taken using an old digital compact, so apologies for the poor quality. Not managed to crop them either, I'm afraid.

Nico Rosberg - Friday practice at Spa 05/09/2008
Peter Meyrick - Oulton Park Gold Cup - March 782 - Derek Bell Trophy race. Before it rained he was too fast to photograph on the run down Dentons into Cascades
GP race at Spa 06/09/2008 on the run down to Les Combes.

Young Ian wins again.
I can't help wondering how that photo is possible. Do you really race without wrist restraints? If your arm can come out of the cockpit like that, I wouldn't want to be in the car if it rolled...You can't attach them to the wheel can you?

It's standard practice to attach arm restraints to your harness. They're adjustable, meaning you can get to all the controls still, but in the event that you become inverted and cant keep your arms inside the cockpit, they stop them flying out into thin air.
Generally this works very well, I know of only one case when this has failed, and a chap lost his arm as a result (this was in Tet and yours truly's genre of racing, but physics are physics, arms fly around when you hit something).
