That much is obvious. So much so that I really do wonder why you bothered to post in this thread. |

Finally dried out from Friday.
Enjoyed qually day and the 50s race into dusk, less so the liquid mud in the car park. Fair play to the drivers and especially the riders who endured the constant rain. As for the commentary team, both Harry and Alice are out of their depth with a lack of knowledge of the cars. They are fine when doing modern F1, F2 and F3 on the FOM platforms but really struggle, especially in qualifying. Lots of talk trackside about the Duke's video but I doubt we will find out the truth. Looking a tad moist again this morning. |

I don't even know and care about who you're talking about here.
Still enjoying the Sky coverage, the Barry Sheene T was brilliant! |

Having some E-Type course cars is cool. Never happened in the day.
Brilliant. What’s also good is that the YouTube footage can keep you going for weeks. |

I have enjoyed dipping in and out of the coverage over the weekend and just watched a very entertaining TT Celebration race. Didnt even mind the commentary, but probably because i am not as knowledgeable as many on here!
One thing i found curious (given discussion of eligibility) was that in one of the on board cockpit shots showed an e-type (i think) that had a prominent red box on the LHS of the dash with MBE labelled on it prominently, now istr that MBE are ECUs….period….? Lol! (Am i right?). |

MSD réd ignition box is mandatory. Comes together with rev limiter and trigger replacing the points condenser. Max rev limit depends on the car and is fixed by regulation. No electronic advance curve allowed.

Some Historic regs allow electronic ignition , but usually had to be available in the period that it relates to . And there are fuel injectors that look just like Weber carbs , but who knows what runs in some events . |

And all the wiring must be seen anytime by anyone. Rather difficult to cheat with. Good thing imo.

Just really enjoyed the St Mary's part 2 - great fun!
Bit miffed that after winning the part 1 yesterday the Alfa wasn't able to make the overall win, but still a good show. Back to the last race of the day! |

They are extremely well crafted however, too well, so it's a self created problem from host/organiser to preparers and entrants. |

Disappointing to see the 'Thunderbird' running in the last race, completely out of character for such a race. As one who attended all three Nine Hour races, I thought its inclusion a gross error of judgement, so delighted to see it retire early. I know you cannot expect everything to 'just as it was', but there should be limits.
Having had my own personal moan, I tend to think of the Revival being run as Formula Goodwood, with its own rules and regulations, designed to provide entertainment rather than reality. Fast cars driven on (and over) the limit is always worth watching. JOMO. Bawb. |

In the case of the Jag' you named: in period, cars were running primitive ignition, points, condenser, coil and the timing advance curve was the job of the dizzy (masses and springs). The red MSD box purpose is to replace the points/condenser thingy and has a built-in rev limiter (working either soft or hardway). Coil remains and the ignition timing is free but must be obtained via the mechanical way, springs and masses. Or blocked. The signal inside the dizzy is sent via either an optical or a simple magnet, system called trigger. Simple and reliable. The MSD box must be in sight, in no way altered neither the wirings must be touched. Should you add some protection it must be made with transparent material. What has been done, is that some organizers like Masters and Peter Auto made a kind of BoP via the rev limiters, Cobras and E Types have not the same limit. Still, Cobras are faster as in period. No sorcery, just the electronic term is somewhat pompous… This "box" is reliable only known issue is the compatibility with some tachos (Stack sometimes).

I thought after seeing the entry list that this year looked much better than the last few years. I decided to swallow my grumpiness and go again but by then it was sold out. That will teach me. The live coverage pictures of the splendid racing were great but the commentaries were best turned off with TSL and an entry list close to hand. Must get there next year.

Following the discussion yesterday which followed from the penalties for entering the pits when they had yet to be opened, I think, but don't know for a fact, that the confusion arose because it looks to me as though the safety car line was at the end of the grid positions, and not the start line as I originally thought.
Thus, when Jimmie Johnson passed that line, the green flag was waved, and possibly erroneously, following drivers assumed incorrectly that the pits would automatically open simultaneously, and therefore ignoring or not seeing the Closed sign on display. Talking about flags, I think that at the end of the Memorial Race this evening, although the on-screen timing showed a chequer, the flag was not waved for the first two cars across the line which is probably why they both continued at racing pace for an extra lap. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed watching the coverage; for the most part I didn't listen to the commentary even though I heard it - it was just there in the background, although my ears did pick up some one calling the Sunbeam an "Alpeene"; I've always known as an Alpine! |
