Time Attack Round 5 -
What should have been a good round for us, turned into a nightmare with 0 points scored ☹️
The weekend started fine. We had recently changed the clutch, so to give it as much bedding in time as possible. Sarah drove the car to the circuit on a standard power map the night before.
In the morning we completed an alignment before practice. And I opted to run the car at standard power for the final few miles bedding in the clutch.
🔹Attack 1:
I turn the power back up and leave the pits.
Then the first time I open the throttle… pop!
Resorts to 3PSi boost. End of session. Boost hose had blown off in the worst possible place.
🔹Attack 2:
With a lot of swearing and bloody knuckles, the team managed to get the hose back on without taking 1/2 the car apart.
First lap… put my foot power… 9psi (car runs 24psi normally). Bu**er!
We get a camera in and see the pipe that had popped off had sliced itself on the aux belt and the second some boost went through it. Split it open.
🔹Super Attack:
Despite the fantastic help of other teams in the paddock and colossal amounts of bodging. We could not get a suitable repair on the car to make the final. Gutted! 😔. But these things happen.
On to Brands next week…
Thankyou so much to the team, friends and sponsors!
