Nice vid, car sounds great. Was the engine getting heat soak and backing off the power when you came into the pits?

Thanks

Heat soak was an occasional issue that day. Pretty sure the 410 I’m getting won’t suffer the same issue.

Just need to learn to heel and toe

I know how to H&T perfectly well thanks - been doing it in my GT3 for years, but the pedal position, narrow accelerator pedal & my fairly small feet make it awkward in the Exige.

I have a wider accelerator pedal plate on order.

Difficult with the Exige V6 as the ECU has built in tech to prevent this. I think there was a safety issue found in another platform and they added some measures to adjust. The 410 and 430 has rev matching. Not sure about the 380

You can blip in the 380, but as above, it's just awkward for me. Those with bigger (but not massive) feet may find it easier.

the morning sessions were a joke with reds and stoppages think I only managed 10 laps all morning.

I think I did better than that, but yes, there were lots of numpties going off.
