chaseracer Posted August 26, 2022 Author Share Posted August 26, 2022 Today: testing, with appropriate running modifications. 90 minutes of day qualifying kicks off in just over an hour. Then, after sunset, because a 24-hour race requires some driving in the dark, a further hour of night qualifying. More later. dome, Coprolalia, Dyslexic Viking and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaseracer Posted August 27, 2022 Author Share Posted August 27, 2022 1hr20 in. Started 28th after qualifying on 1.5 cylinders (broken HT lead), now 22nd and going well. George due in at around 1700 for fuel and handover to Laurence. LightBulbFun, w00dy, richardmorris and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaseracer Posted August 27, 2022 Author Share Posted August 27, 2022 4hr55. George pitted at 1650 with power loss. Up to 20th. Timing adjusted, handover to Laurence. Lengthy FTP. Engine replaced. Laurence out after half an hour in the pits. Laurence in again in short order with the engine pinking like a bastard. WTF? This thing had been timed statically AND dynamically. Timed from scratch using a decent light. Out again. Running well now. Laurence doing 1:57s (5 secs up on qualifying) so leave him out for as long as possible while he's got fuel. Laurence in 1936, hand over to Glen, back out 1938. Now running 1:56s. AnnoyingPentium, DSdriver, puddlethumper and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaseracer Posted August 28, 2022 Author Share Posted August 28, 2022 We picked up some minor body damage in the very early morning after one of the Minis tried to use the same piece of tarmac. One of the supports for the secondary dash panel fractured and had to be cable-tied. Following an element of electricity leakage, the alternator was swapped. Glen came in just now with a failed wheel bearing, which was replaced. Laurence now circulating in 21st place (14th in class). richardmorris, Coprolalia and Matty 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
