In the dry, all the 6 cylinder cars' lap times were very close. Brands should make for some very good racing.

Now then, where will I find a quickshift for that rocket box in the 3000M.............whistle

If you look at fastest laps all the class C cars was within 2-3 seconds of each other.

The V6s all had fastest laps in the 1 min 11s.

Looks like we will need more than 280hp to get on pole for Brands.
Is there any more weight you can shed from the car John....whistle

Niel,
Silverstone were only my second and third races - and included my first ever wet race.

I had fun - finished the day with a smile on my face. Ambition achieved.

So far the little car has had a class win (as a result of Mickeys off at Anglesey) and two seconds - not bad and certainly beyond what I hoped. Brands maybe better suited to the M, I'm testing a few days before and I will have the gear selection problems that slowed us up in the dry race resolved. What I need is more race experience and more time behind the wheel of the M - that will come.

A little less weight would be nice (though its not lardy) - don't think the car needs anymore power (though it's not 280 BHP).

What the 30 odd year old package needs to do is keep that smile were it was after crossing the line Sunday afternoon in race 2. smile

It also needs a lttle blue car to chase in class B.;)

Finished the pedal box mounting last night. crawled into bed at 1am and was woken up by the new puppy at 3.30.
started looking at the seat. Will get some more work done tonight.
