thing is we have a GMS ( track version of the gordon murray T50 ) engine on durabilty test at the moment
its belting around Le-mans on a 36 hour test and sounds quite special as it revs to 12,000rpm with 700+ bhp on open pipes
we leave it too long you will miss it

how about next Thursday instead ? So the 25th
