Few pics from my weekend at the ring - more to follow. Weather was pretty pants and it was a real shame what happened to Ians motor.

Got some good laps in but had a wastegate issue which meant i was driving around with 5psi the whole weekend and didnt notice for some reason - one turn of a spanner and it was right back up to 12psi but the track was shut then, total idiot. LOL.

I was cussing mate - the top fitting had come slightly loose and was bleeding off the signal from the boost controller. Once tightened, hey presto **** loads of power again.
 
Car Looks fantastic, want to go to the ring one day, just need the right car first
 
Love that first shot, car looks sweet mate :)
