I will have to write a book about how many different things a Classic and Original V10 F1 car can throw at you to stop it running πŸ™ˆπŸ™ˆπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ after 4 years of putting 24volts through a 12v motor the remote starter cries ENOUGH πŸ˜‚so new motor Thanks to Cambridge Motorsport for the excellent service Fit new motor try to crank up oil pressure and the Sprag clutch in the starter gearbox breaks !!!!!

Well that wasn’t the Saturday we had planed πŸ™πŸ™Didn’t start off very well when I left the irreplaceable steering wheel on a table in the garage at the circuit , but didn’t realise I had done this until I woke up at 3:30am Saturday morning !! so back to Silverstone from the hotel to get it !!!!! And a big thanks to the Silverstone security guys for being really understanding and letting me in at that stupid time in the morning to rescue it πŸ™ˆπŸ™ˆπŸ™‚
So missed the first two sessions as it was very wet and We have no spare wheels to fit wet tyres so couldn’t run
Then 195/3 being the most temperamental thing in the world decided that the High Pressure fuel pump has had its life and said enough πŸ™ˆπŸ™ˆπŸ™ˆπŸ™ˆ So no start πŸ™ as it happens we wouldn’t of run anyway as the weather was still awful. Apologies to all at Gassed on Track but the weather and a mechanical issue wouldn’t let it happen perhaps next year …. So more fixing then onward to the British GP in July 😍😍😍🏎️
