Thanks Pete . . . .bit slow to start with . . .but lost 4 seconds a lap over qualifying and another 3.5 seconds off in the race. Tedebear says she has a few grey hairs !
it was excellent fun and despite a few overheating worries the car went well enough . . . . .for now, and I didnt come last! a bit more fettling (again) and its off to Cadwell Park in 2 weeks . . . . |

What was the overheating problem then?
BTW. Looking on MST the Thorogood GTA Challenge at Combe includes a Cortina Mk1 GT. Driven by Derek Booth. Next time you're on the same bill you might have a look at it to compare notes. |

Because its built to CSCC regs not App K.
Also its one of the cars from the Ken Clarke list of invitees. It could be that you're running a bit to far advanced. But if you can change the rad eithe get an alloy version or one with a bigger core. |

Derek's GT has its original glass etc. No lightweight stuff at all as I understand it.
