Nope, it had only done 4 or 5 laps after it was changed on the last pitstop. The driver afterwards reported that the car felt odd when that wheel went on. It was fitted to the nearside front which was taking the most punishment . When the scrutineer examined the car after it was recovered, he found the center of the wheel still attached to the hub with the four bolts done up to the correct torqueNo reason why they can’t allow alloys - subject to a minimum weight in case they’re worried about someone forking out hundreds on something exotic to save a couple of kilos of unsprung.

Steelies in C1's fail every so often too. Was there any contact or kerb hopping?
No contact and fairly sure no kerb hopping as that wheel only did a few laps. But then not everyone had issues although we did get a wheel develop cracks in testing as did a few others. We did C1's also last year and had a few buckled steel rims. They sure are quite soft but then again their not designed for racing. Hope the organisers take note and allow alloys to be used.The KA guys have sorted out something as well on a mandated alloy that will shortly be available from Graves Motorsport, no word on style or weight yet but the first 200 wheels will be available late June, after the 12hr race, not ideal either.

Snetts is just down the road from me. Might have to pop over in June and say hi. Well done.
I'm a serial offender for watching the racing (cars and bikes) at nearby Snett, but no way do I want spend money to watch 12 hours of Kas crawling around such a high speed and technically complex circuit. Think I'll go to the dentist and have some root canal treatment instead.(But well done anyway Team PistonHeads )

Well done, great effort and write up. I think we saw the car practicing on the Friday...we were providing the rolling MX-5 chicane for the Radicals ??

Good job
What was the bit about Ross Brawn about?!
He was known for good strategy calls in his days on the pit wall. What was the bit about Ross Brawn about?!

Hope said scrutineer’s report feeds back to the championship organisers, wheels shouldn’t fail like that.

See above they will be mandating a solution.No reason why they can’t allow alloys - subject to a minimum weight in case they’re worried about someone forking out hundreds on something exotic to save a couple of kilos of unsprung.

Yep those are the wheels, we had a go in their car at Brands on them. Same tyres but slightly wider wheel so more grip. We were confused at first as they do look exactly like the Ford minilites that were on our KA when we bought it!https://graves-motorsport.square.site/product/endu...

They look like the RMD wheels that Rally Design sell. https://graves-motorsport.square.site/product/endu...
