robmar Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Well after a great practice run i was never really on the pace and could never get close to my time. My final run was going well until I came to no name, I lifted in 6th and then the car just lost power ☹️, felt very much like it was running out of petrol, but I know there was plenty in. In the video after the lift I had my foot flat to the floor but the revs are still dying, down to 5th for the next corner and it was still just dying, but then it picked up and the rest of the run I had no similar problem. It is hard to tell on youtube but there is a warning light comign on the stack dash (i didn't spot it at the time 😳), it could have been anything but I am suspecting fuel pressure Also then out of the chicane I got onto the power a fraction early and onto the curbs, so not wanting to head into a bank I lifted and lost more time ☹️ It was a good run, a PB even but it could have been much better. Not had chance to look at the data logs yet to see what both those errors cost me. Roll on curborough... Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlies Angel Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 If you ever find that you have too much speed coming in to St. Mary's or the chicane, just lean in to the corner - it seems to work! Lynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Support Team Shaun_E Posted May 3, 2011 Support Team Share Posted May 3, 2011 which was 89.93 - a personal best so not a bad result from a tricky day. Hopefully we'll have a new alternator for the Wales weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
