Video on YouTube of one of my many laps of the ring. This one is quite entertaining. Watch at 2:18 when i shout 140 mph and go sideways. Nasty!
Worth a watch -

Nice lap! Sounded like a nasty missfire between 5 and 6mins where you overtook those three cars in a row!

Just watched this. Car goes really well.
Its a testiment to Marks attention to detail & care when building his car that it all holds together so well & performs withoutt drama.
Some of the Nova vids Ive seen from the Ring are so noisy & blurred & full of rickity squeaks etc. This was a pleasure to watch. Some very good lines being picked aswell other than when those slow supercars are getting in the way.
Great vid pal. It always strikes me how watching a vid of a tubby, it just doesnt sound like its going anywhere despite the scenery flashing past! lol . Very effortless and very quick!

Thats the low down torque. It doesnt take half an hour to climb into the power band like the TB engines do.......LOL

Cheers for the comments. You may notice just after Bergwerk (N'ring) the engine stutters / cuts. Been having a problem with this for 18 months now. Thought it was running out of fuel though the bends so I installed 2 fuel pumps and a swirl pot. Better but still the problem was there. Anyway - I did a track day ( not a day 3 laps!) at Cadwell Park. The car just cut out had it towed of track messed with it all day. Wouldnt start. Got it towed home. Ended up being a weak spark from the coil. Hopefully this has now sorted the cut problems. Have to wait till next year now! :x

We were watching it at a mates the other night (big Cossie freak) & he thought it suffered some fuel surge due to the cornering at that point in the vid.
Hope the coil sorts it!
