So, it’s been a busy couple of months already this year. With a freshly machined block sent off to my engine builder along with a box of new parts, we’re going to start the season on the stock engine from the black Clio of Rob Quantrell, my race partner in 2024.
So a dyno session is booked for 25th Feb, a pre season test at Snetterton booked for March 2nd and the first race at Donington booked for 29th March. All being well, this will kick off a fairly busy season but a few hurdles to get over first!
First and main job of the year was changing out the fuel tank and adding a new fuel level sender and fresh baffles. The biggest challenge being to calibrate the dash to read fuel level accurately. This is now complete and we’ll see how well it works at Snetterton.
With the car back on its wheels it had it’s first bath for over a year and then a slight change of livery is underway. Doing away with the traditional white number squares on the doors and bonnet to be replaced with the more popular, these days; yellow numbers on the side windows and windscreen.
