    Fricken photos all over the place re orientation. On my computer they are fine.

    Time wise, this even last year (although held in August 2019) saw me blow the diff on the second lap. So I only got a 1.12 something. First lap out this time was a 1.09.96, so a good 2 seconds faster. The only difference really being the diff.

    Bit of a disaster last Saturday for the Porsche V's BMW Cup. We had changed the oil from our last race day. Put a new gasket in the gearbox that had a few drops of oil and checked the brakes. We then took it for a drive Friday and all worked well. Saturday morning, drove out of my mechanics and at the first set of traffic lights no brakes! Nursed it to the race track. Spent 4 hours trying to fix the brakes. Believe a brake booster failed so good pedal but no caliper pressure. So no racing.

    Pics below. We would have punched above our weight. Previous times had us qualifying 4th in our group. A few 911's and caymans behind us. Pity, could have been a chance to set a new lap record for the car.

    Now to chase Walloth & Nesche for new parts!

    This photo taken by another competitor sums things up pretty well for the day! Bled the brakes so many times, and the master cylinders. Took al pads out. Checked pistons working. Still, good to be at the racetrack!

    Car is now with the brake specialists. They do all of their own fabrication and have a very large machine shop so here's hoping we have a solution in a week or so. Funnily enough, they prefer the double boosters noting that more is better and separate boosters on separate circuits for front and back is actually a far better system.

    Completely re-built boosters. We need to fiddle with vacuum but otherwise the brakes are fixed. Now we need a good tune as running so rich the plugs foul like in the photo and we cannot re-start a day after a run. The next day the plugs are dripping wet.
