Spent the afternoon in the workshop getting the car ready for the next few races. We have Mallory Park and Silverstone back to back so had to make sure it was tip top. Gave it good spanner check and fitted another alternator bolt (that went AWOL at Silverstone)

The rear wheel bearings were making alot of noise late on at the trackday last week. But we never expected them to be THAT bad. They were new when we built the car so have done about 400 hours of track time at a guess. Sounds alot when added up. Going to give them a shorter life and replace them sooner in future. To make life easy we bought another set of discs with the bearings already fitted. Then we can replace the old bearings and keep them as a spare set. We have just over 300 hours left in the season so the new set should last us till the end of the year.

Said it was a god job we ran out of petrol when we did

 

[Daniel]

Gods honest truth, I heard it on the first run I had in the car.

I didn't want to mention it incase you thought I was being a nob.

 

[Jay Payne]

I did too but didnt want to tell Tony. Kept it to myself.

He heard it but put it down to tyre noise

It got really bad late on tho

 

[Tony Hunter]

Didn't want to hear it,having too much fun.
