I see you have taken my advice on the cream buns and drop 20 kilos good work lad . Another look at the Belgium video for little more driving place . Did number 12 have a bit more H.P. we can work on that ! Apprentice pit crew from down under

Hi Kit, yes I've got 13kilo off at the moment and I still need more to come off.. the 12 car uses a duratec engine which has approximately 20hp more and 20lbft of torque more, the wet conditions made it a great race though. We will have to move you up from apprentice soon.

I was heavily in volved in Brisca f.1 for 20 years. My 1st meeting was at white city. Seeing Frankie wainman Snr win the 1979 World final. They are offset to go left on a small oval track. Back in the 70s & 80s it was chevy v8 Big blocks. Then they started introducing v8 small blocks. You have whites which are the novice grade driver right through too red top & super star. Then you have silver roof. Which is national points champion. Then gold Top world champion. I used to mechanic for frankie wainman Snr. When they were running on Hoosiers tyres. Doing 88 meetings a year. 🏁

Wow, that's awesome did you race as well or just mechanic? Do you live near the wainmans?

@trainingday3917 күн бұрын

Great days my friend. My era was watching from 1970 to the early 90s. Bet I saw you in the pits... Thank you for sharing your story.

@superbrit38459 күн бұрын

Do they have full blown 600bhp race engines in them?

@graceenginedevelopments9 күн бұрын

Apparently they are old race engines. But didn't feel like 600

@superbrit38459 күн бұрын

@@graceenginedevelopments Yes they don’t sound like full race engines and that makes sense as it would be super expensive in maintenance cost to have full blown race engines in hire cars. None the less though I think it’s absolutely amazing what the Wainmans are doing by offering fans the opportunity to get a taster for F1 Stock Cars

I was a young kid, but at Baarlo ( Netherlands) with the Rapid orange car with the huge spoiler on top. Later at Venray but i watched Frankie for years. Very polite familie. As a youngster they invited me in their 'camp' and his wife gave me a drink. I will never forget that. Racing is racing, but off track just cope. Cheers

Like many of your commentators, I owned an MGB roadster. It had been rebuilt and was a delight to drive. Thank you for keeping the marque alive through your amazing engineering skills. I too would love to see the twin engine builds and see the difference in performance.

Thanks Nigel, yes we are starting the 2 rebuilds

@ptibbitts-nu9jr12 күн бұрын

Just finishing building it, I have several of these engines in Lotus Twincam format, I've used cork, composite and the latest trial is with the blue Burton Competition Sump gasket set. It has rubber / nitrile contoured seals for the front and rear crank seals. It's not obvious how to fit these and there's no-one giving any advice on here. Part of the issue is seating the nitrile seals to keep them in exactly the correct place prior to the sump pan being fitted. The blue flat gaskets on the block edges, can be held in place with RTV or similar. But the black rubber contoured seals are just 'balanced' on the front and rear journals, waiting to be clamped by the tin sump - it's not an ideal method as the seals could move whilst the sump pan is lowered into place. There's just a worry the seals have been displaced during fitting the sump, but to check would mean undoing all the bolts and destroying the RTV gasket seals, as you can imagine. Just don't want leaks again as previous - (this is a really poor engineering method of sealing the sump pan!!)

I can explain how I do it if you want to email or call me, I will film next time as well..

I use the Burton (Blue) Competition Sump set with rubber journal seals
