CSCA Supersprint

Round 4

Sunday the 14th of June was round 4 of the CSCA Supersprint series held at One Raceway. We took the BRZ and the Excel.

The first three sessions were held on the clockwise Wakefield Circuit, and the last three sessions were held on the anti-clockwise Shelly Circuit.

Unfortunately, the excel developed a nasty oil leak from the gearbox aera so we parked it after only 2 sessions.

The BRZ was a Jet again and I am really enjoying the grip and balance of the car at the moment. The new fuel system, gauges and low-pressure warning lights worked well and it was very interesting to see the pumps loose and gain pressure as the fuel moved from one side of the tank to the other as the turning forces were applied to the car.

The secondary fuel pump did leak from the top as the fuel sloshed up the side of the tank but I know the cause and I have the required seal available to fix it.

Even with the issue with the excel, it was still a good day.

Hill Climb Sunday (Again)

Jake and I went out to Ringwood Park for the MG Car Club Newcastle hill climb the other day and had a ball as always. I took the BRZ and Jacob gave his H6 Liberty a squirt.

I left the traction control on like an idiot which is why the car died at the start, and if you listen closely, you can hear it pulling power from me on corner exit, and as i round the right hander heading for the penultimate corner, you can see the car bauk as the traction control pulls on some rear brake. Rookie error. Full second slower when I was aiming to go faster.

Good still. Going to the next one for sure.
