Does the engine/electrics have enough mass connections? Sound like missing mass cables or loose ones (even without hearing it )

It's a known set up.

I think the issue is a faulty sensor or more likely it still has a fuel pressure issue.

Priming the car by starting sees it run fine, but hooning sees it soon run into kangaroo mode.

Will get it on a Rolling Road to see what we can find.

Bit a a shame Richard, all part and parcel though. Rolling road sounds like a good idea. I'm sure the techies will fit a fuel pressure gauge and see what's going on. Out of curiosity are you running a swirl pot set up or straight from the tank?

As suspected, fuel regulator issue.

Seems to be fine now.

 

Sessioned test day at Brands Hatch tomorrow, going to duck out of work at lunchtime and do the two afternoon sessions to try it out pre-Donington on Sunday.

Testing Testing 1 2 ...... 53.

Afternoon testing for Boss Fox in the number 53 Festa ST. A few teething problems that need addressing so won't be out for Donnington this weekend boo hoo. Car looks awesome mixing it with some very valuable and rare machines however.

Glad you're making progress

 

Some lovely looking other machines there as well 

Time schedule for its first race was pretty tight planned. Sorry for the mishap, but getting used to the car better, before first race cant be so wrong :no:

Where as my test went ok ish but not without mis-hap

Early indications showed Richards car much quicker on the straights but I had the corners (due to setup)

Yes, going to keep improving and ragging it at Brands until it's right.

 

Even sorting out issues and wizzing about battling with other cars testing is quite good fun.

Always good to have done different setups, knowing what the car does when altering things. Also different weather conditions (although real hot will become difficult), especially half dry and full wet.

Playing with the tyres will get another couple of tenths or even second. Especially knowing how to treat them for a fast qualifying lap.

We used to warm up the new slicks for just one or two laps and then stow them away for the next day. That gave best performance directly after warming up the tyres for the fastes qualifying lap.

And warming up the tyres will give you different reactions too. Fast brisk warming up will ruin them faster than easily getting them at the right temperature.

 

Following your steps closely, I like the idea of going racing!

 

Did the same with my son in karting and now in his scooterracing. A lot of training laps to get fast and after that trying to still be fast under racing conditions. Means, stay fast in a battle with others.

My early testing video from yesterday, playing with a couple of Mustangs.

You can see the issues.  Clutch slip and bogging down.

Forgot to switch the GoPro on for the second test.

 

 

Good luck to Damo on his first race at Donington tomorrow.

Surprised at the clutch slip after a rebuild,.. the bogging down looks suspiciously like fuel starvation going round the left hander. Hopefully You'll get to the bottom of the issues pretty quickly and get some good runs in fairly soon.

Nice seeing the flames from the white Mustang! :-o

Damo's 'mishap' didn't actually look like he was to blame at all.

Yeah, could hear the clutch slip.

I'd love to say it wasn't my fault but I unsettled the car trying to scrub some speed

The back just went a bit to far for me to collect so opted for plant foot on brake and cross fingers

An unashamed thread hijack .. and a plug..... my bad bossfox..

 

Just in case anyone has missed it, I've organised exclusive use of a hospitality suite for friends family and fellow briskodians for the final meet of the CSSC at Brands Hatch, where a certain racing team will hopefully be perambulating.. Its looking to be a great day out with a good contingent already signed up. its £25 for the day including circuit entry unlimited tea coffee etc and amongst (brilliant value if I say so myself) Linkage to more info here..

If you are interested please let me know, via the above thread, sooner rather than later so you don't miss out an opportunity to see and support one or is it two?.. of our very own, mixing it with the big boys..

Worth mentioning the entrance ticket is £14 I think.

So the facilities B33fy is offering will only cost you £11 on top, as you get a ticket included.

Bargain. Just wish Brands Hatch was a bit closer :(

Brief update as I'm tired... I managed to get 3rd in class at Oulton Park yesterday (my home circuit) going from 33rd on the grid to 21st overall!

Big thanks to the voluntary Brisky crew having to do a calliper / pad change between scrutineering and quali (40 mins). They pulled it off in pro fashion!

Qualifying:

As this was my first time driving the circuit I wasn't expecting to be up the top end of the field and the final place showed (33rd) but I compounded this further by going off on the exit of Lodge on what would have been my quickest lap by a couple of seconds

Final time: 2:13.1

Vid:

Race:

Well, my first home race but even more my first standing start! Yes they are a lot more difficult than I thought...

The race was in the main great fun, I managed to get a good start and found a nice gap down the inside which gained me a number of places before I settled into a rhythm and had a great battle with a couple of Pumas and a Cavalier.

Into the pitstop window and after missing the pit board because I was having too much fun I pitted to be greeted by Taylor and Adam, regs say every driver has to get out of the car on the pitstop and get back in, all went very well and quick in comparison to the Donington attempt...

Back to the track, my battle with the Pumas continued with me finally coming out on top before a huge scare on the exit of Shell hairpin where oil had been dropped. I was lucky enough to collect the car and avoid the barriers, just...

Vid:

There wasn't much more action after that other than me going to the chequered flag to be told I had got 3rd in class!

Quickest Race Lap: 2:09.6
