So you started racing? That's great Paul! Welcome to the club

I'm at work in the North sea when DN13 is, but maybe I can change my schedule so I can make it... A trip to Nürburg in the autumn does sound nice.

Well dipping my toes into it. Doing a sprint series based at the only circuit in Scotland so into my 2nd season. Loving it!

You are correct. The car is supercharged by ESS tuning. Putting down a little over 600hp.

I've added another oil cooler and have a oil diverter. Also changed to the BMW Motorsport T-stat. With those upgrades I'm able to push as hard as I can for as long as I can, even if it's close to thirty degrees.

Thanks for the detailed info. Wish you good luck for the next races.
