That must be a real ass to jack it up high enough to get those stands on surely?

First little adventure of the day.

Coolant boiled over and front tyres first, then rear tyres, bit of tree chopping and got straight into the pits.
I could see a fluid coming out so switched off straight away.
Water temp was up at 102, oil 106, I've seen those temps before so wasn't worried as it was a hot day
After an age to cool down, decided to whip the stat out and run statless. Luckily I did, it was jammed solid

No idea what this residue is, looks like RTV but it's not RTV as I haven't used any in the coolant system. It felt quite solid, really weird.
Anyway, stat removed and engine ran at 80 water 95 oil for the rest of the day, which I'd say is about right for me.
More videos incoming.

Chasing Team Brit car BMW.
Yes mate sequential box.
So I always dip the clutch on downshift, I just can't get my head round not dipping it on downshifts, trying to help it last a bit longer. I know under heavy braking I could and have used clutchless downshifts but I don't like it!!
On upshifts I don't like clutchless up shifting with lock on as it feels like it doesn't like it,
3rd to 4th out of paddock I should be clutchless
2nd to 3rd our of Druids I should be clutchless
3rd to 4th on the bottom straight should be clutchless
But 3rd to 4th out of Clearways I used the clutch as I had lock on.
But I also sometimes forget and use the clutch whatever gear I'm changing into!! It's an element of my game I need to work on, along with left foot braking and braking harder and later.
I've only just got my head around gassing on before the apex and using the throttle and diff to pull the line tighter and kill the understeer something that I've only just realised at brands and how much quicker it makes you.
From the videos I'm around 57 seconds compared to a minute at my last Brands day. I think the car has a 54 or a 55 in the hands of a real driver. I'm gonna get my Vbox sorted and actually start to work on these things.
