Wow, just watched this through my TV, what an excellent job Philip has made and so much patience as I know this takes him hours to compile, with in-car his own outside footage and then the commentary over the top as well :mrgreen: Philip is also my "Telemetry" and he has played with the footage so h...

Well the weekend despite all the work getting and changing tyres etc was a bit of a letdown, primarily due to the weather. Those who have been to some of the December trackdays with us know that Brands can be the equivalent of being in the Antarctic for cold and chill factor and that's what we had o...

Were they actually waved yellows..... or all your fans supporting the only Yellow RX8 on the grid

With all the power and weight they're packing under the bonnet, they won't stand a chance in the wet :D Yeh, but I might not as well :bump: To be fair, I dont mind the wet, at Silverstone in the wet I started 32nd and last on the grid and got up to 12th with waved yellows all over the place and tho...

Thanks everyone, appreciated, real leap into the unknown with this crowd :mrgreen: No free entry I'm afraid and as you can see on the link below the weekend has a full race program You will see that with all the different types of things racing it will actually be a very good spectator event other t...

Parked up at Brands ready for the weekend, the Scooby and the Skyline are there running more power than they do in Track attack and a Team Hard BTCC car will be in my class (they were testing all day!)

Should be interesting racing plus its looking like rain, after a dry all weekend prediction !!!

With revised gearing via the box and the diff, I'm now down to 2 gear changes per lap at Coombe and Brands with three at Donnington so whilst a sequential will always help its not going to give me a ton of time, plus I would need a sponsor for an 8K gear box

Long shot, but do you have the 4.7 still??

Sorry long gone as I knew I would never use it again.

Round Donnington, the way the car accelerates with gearing that low I was waving my arm around like the Duracell Bunny trying to keep up with the gear changes

Can't see the ratio chart but many thanks. Trouble is, as the cars evolved it has had power in different places plus I now have more corner speed. This means I have changed rear end gearing probably four times from 4.7 to 4.3, then changing the gear box to a five speed changed things again. I know t...

How do the classes work in this series? Have a look at https://www.trackattackraceclub.com/ Are the civics and Clio’s tuboed so near to 400hp the same as your Rex? No idea whats under the bonnet of many cars but you can change the engine within the Marque of your car so some of the small cars have ...

I know some are interest in next weekends Brands event and I have found out that the format of these events is across two days, so I will have qualifying Saturday and Racing then I suspect a warm up on Sunday then more Racing.

Are those the actual tyres or just a stock photo, as they look like the pre-2017 245/650R18 rather than the current 265/660R18? These were just a picture off the internet to give people an idea of what I was talking about ;) I now have lots of current spec medium and soft 265-660-18's plus a good s...

Getting ready for Brands next week :) Went to Team Hard's workshops yesterday and collected a few sets of this years spec BTCC tyres the owner Tony Gilham donated to me, including a set of the soft option tyres with the white Dunlop markings. These are the faster tyre those who follow BTCC will know...

Looking good there Clive

Thanks Dave, you only really know what you have got though once you get on the tarmac dyno

(good to catch up yesterday)

"Christine" struck again today :shock: , but we sort of foiled her to make her behave (a bit) ;) Another 400 mile round trip up to Pip's (WGT) to try and finish the map. Pip had me re-pipe the wastegate incorporating a MAC 3 Port Boost Control Solenoid which when connected into the Adaptronic would ...

My God son has a new Bullet Mustang on order, my old mate picked the right son for me to be god father of as I won a Drag Racing Championship in the 69 Mustang pictured below many years ago

What channel is this scheduled on Clive? I payed a club joining fee last night so hopefully I will know more info soon, I picked up that it was televised months ago so hopefully this is still the case. Your right Dave, I don't think I can get near the Skylines and big power Scooby that's out there ...

Taken the plunge and will be entering the last round of the Thunder Saloon Car Championship October on 27th/28th Brands Hatch (Televised) with the RX-8. Tony Gilham the owner of BTCC Team Hard is kindly donating a set of Dunlop slicks as I am interested in seeing how the car will perform. Need to fi...

Thanks Pete, that will help at 8600 and also in the places on track where I need to go a little further in third gear.
New Turbo spools quicker with more power lower down, so it will take the higher gearing

Thanks Adam, you will see they play a little rougher than on a track day then you will see I just use a little more than the track at times--------- I don't give in to a little intimidation ;) I felt the clutch slip once in the first race and hoped it was me not releasing the clutch fast enough :( ,...

Thanks for posting Adam, Great work again by Philip (Prototype) as he not only takes the time to do front and back views, but also the commentary over the top so you actually know what's going on. He even gets the driver interviews at the end, so at least they realise its an RX-8 and not an RX-7 by ...
