Comment on Blands Hatch by Tim Hoverd

I’m not very happy, no. They do have an aero advantage and that would affect things at Brands because of the status of Clearways. I’m deep in thought about what to do, there isn’t really a good solution to be honest!

You don’t sound very happy Tim. The car seems a long way of the others in the class but you are doing times better than the Fury did. Do they have an Aero advantage now?

Sorry to hear you’ve been in the wars. Hopefully you are on the mend now.

Ooooh the sneezing, just the worst pain isn’t it? And it takes ages to go, one day some weeks to come you will have forgotten about it and a particularly nasty sneeze will bring it all back. I feel your pain!

I did wonder about the water temp….it will impact performance I would suspect.

I’ll look forward to seeing what you do next After all I went mad and Supercharged my Phoenix (is 300BHP at the wheel enough I wonder lol)

The water’s actually too cold! The problem is that some one took the thermostat out of the engine and I don’t think it should run like that!

I shan’t comment on the Spire/etc., I might get into trouble!

Some good footage from Silverstone Tim, seems to be going better. Interesting your Oil is at 104 but the water is at 74 deg.

I suppose the question for you is – Can I get the J15 to work or am I better off cutting my loses and going to a Spire/Sabre/BDN etc ?

Well, of course it doesn’t really fix the oversteer, it just makes it understeer as well which is kind of different! I hadn’t heard of any issues with the rodends on the rear wishbones. However, that bit of my car is completely different from standard anyway. (Although, the rod ends on mine are much smaller than the socking great things JP fits!) What’s more, I check those bearings pretty frequently and I’d just replace the rod end if it was worn. I will quite likely replace a bunch over winter anyway.

I’ve never had any adverse comments about the IGUS bearings. Several other people in RGB use them now as well. I think for this application they’re great.
