Back form Le Mans Bugatti - S'stone??

Yoshi and I decided to make the trip back from Le Mans in one stint, which gave me an extra day on the Esprit for S'stone on the 3rd August.

:o) talk about cutting it close - Compressions still to do ££$%^& Fitting brackets for 'modest' roof mounted airbox today and also cut prototype hatch to suit. Few hoses stil to replace, electrics still a joke. All 6 injectors in, new c'cooler pump in but couple of rogue wires loose into back of ecu so have to check and meant we couldn't do an idle test yesterday. Shakedown booked for 30th so fingers etc crossed.

I'm really trying to make it as it'll be invaluable experience for next year as I have no real idea of how fast she'll want to go with 350-360bhp - let alone when she's got 500bhp. It'll be a good marker and good chance to pick up tips for taking the faster turns ahead of racing next year..

Stay tuned... it's 50:50 !!
