Re: Yellow goes racing 2013
Yeah, it is a long time waiting with 34 cars on the grid. I was 14th so had to wait for the other 20 cars to line up and support vehicles for the start.
I did edit the video down, but uploaded the wrong one :ashamed:

Going to be 3 ex cup cars on track racing, should be interesting as all have different specs.

Yes Mart , we did the h/g at Brands last time out. After 8 laps flat out, the throttle linkage broke, cutting engine and temps went through the roof as no way of cooling.
I now have an electric water pump ( thanks Matt@ code red) on a switch to circulate the water when engine off.

CTM's work is good, or at least used to be, hence the question, as I was surprised to hear of 2 consecutive failures.
Sure they'll sort it :agree:
