Looks like a shambles from the videos, every man for himself.

Turbo overspinning?

Isnt that what the wastegate is for so it wont over boost.

3 CAT way sensors would have dealt with the over fuel issue

I'm actually really glad the Corsa stayed at home now, I'd have been gutted wasting good money on that.

As for what was said about the briefing, they told all the potentially new to track people to get out of the pro's way, surely the pros are the ones with the experience to know how to get round a slower car with a much less experienced driver

I'd have been raging at that first lap too, 1/3 of the full session wasted on one lap sat following the car infront at speeds consistent with what you'd should be doing in a residential area

They didn't, they just said to everyone, get out of their way. We paid to be on track as much as their passengers so why do they get the right to drive like an absolute twat around our cars? I'd have loved to have a car I didn't care about and just stick to my racing line and take one of the cunts out.

Meow.... a sense of direction and general 'clue' would help a lot of the folk on track.

I'm not knowingly slagging you off if you think I am.... I'm just making observations from the videos - which is pretty clear to see to all.

PS - I dont have an ARDS licence or compete in timeattack either

It would still drive N/A though?

I split a boost pipe on the Freelander whilst towing, not sure which one and it smoked like a tug boat, but it drove.

Depends how the ECU deals with it, I drove a Focus RS and lost a boost hose, the car just shut itself off and wouldn't fire up again, however my Fiesta with the same engine but different management was just slow without boost.

could possibly make it back depending on how far it was to the pits, other than that mine runs with the afm unplugged (alltho shyt) so i could pull into a runoff area and disconnect it.
