An absolutely lousy weekend for me with the Cooper T59. Drove lousy during the wet qualifying and got rammed up from behind but another car. Fixed with tape. Then the throttle stuck open on the formation lap for race one. No start. Cause: one of the intake manifolds had vibrated loose. Fixed that, but retired after the formation lap for race 2 as well. Engine severly down on power. Might be that the loose manifold had weakend the mixture so much that one of two pistons had been damaged.
Now have to mow the lawn and then off to the garage to get the spare Engine (7000 rpm version with cast crank) into the car for this coming weekend's race at Mantorp Park, Sweden.
