Congratulations Howard, great to see you win, well done.

Totally agree Stephen, being going for many years and it's a superb track with lots of testing corners and interesting height changes. One of the best in the UK. A must visit track. Great to see the Speed Series go down to the wire yet again with 3 drivers who would all be very worthy winners. So whoever has won, congratulations to all of them for ensuring a healthy and fair competition right up to the last round of the championship. It was great to see so many supports at the event cheering everyone on. That's what make the WSCC Speed Series such a cracking Championship. Well done everyone who competed in it or was involved in any way.

Definately up for a Garage, happy to share with you guys.

Yep, exactly. They don't worry me as the normal 12v or 24v supply.

Simple, its a Hayabusa and they like 24 Volt starting when tuned. so 1 is for normal use and being charged all the time + running everything. The other is just to add to provide the 24v starting.

There have been some really bad fires with full EV cars ie Tesla's where the battery pack has been mechanically damaged. Not sure main stream media have not shown more of them yet. Personally I find that pretty concerning, but I guess the same could be said of any petrol fires. As to running them as main batteries for providing 12v supply I already do on my race car, 2 of them, but at the rear of the car above the rear axle, in an area where they are very difficult to damage and if they did go exothermic they would hopefully be isolated enough not to damage to much. They are reliable and work well and are certainly light so save loads of weight compared to a lead battery, in my case about 12Kg

Sorry to hear that. Be very careful what you say to anyone is first advice and don;t admit any liability. Talk either to your insurance company or if you have it, legal cover with your insurance, then speak to them. If your vehicle was not damaged then it will be the Police who decide I would have thought, but no experience. If serious it might be worth getting your own lawyer even if you had to pay for it. Good luck.

I've got a brand new fully built one for sale, save yourself the hassle of the build. Don't under estimate the time and effort / cost of doing that. PM if you' like to chat.

I don't think it will be many years before your daily diver car will just be rented by the month. I'm looking at them like that these days. Can't be arsed with the crap from salesmen.

Not tried it on track, but don't need to as I've had so many track cars over the years I can feel what it's going to be like from the road driving and you are right. They are a beautifully balanced car that could provide a lot of slower speed fun. But still not for me. My current race-car DJ Firehawk is also beautifully balanced but just a bit quicker As for other road cars, very happy with my weekend one, not much goes past

Should be a Skip this setting button somewhere Terry, Facebook is being a Pain at the moment. We will all be back on here soon deja vu of 20 years ago

Lots of views on here but no interest??? Anyone like an XI for summer now we actually have some sun, then give me a call

I agree, fixing chassis is certainly possible but you really need a specialist to do it. Afraid that seller isn't recognised as one. So it would be buyer beware.

Genuine Nomex can be washed OK and a good number of times. There should be instructions on the suit as to how. So follow the label instructions. I used to be fussy, but as the years have gone by I've dropped down to just chuck it in the washing machine by itself with normal powder. Seems to work for me.

But if you have, the eBay one looks pretty good. And welcome to our Club of car nuts.
