ICR2 - Random breakdowns (phew!)

by John Wallac » Tue, 12 Dec 1995 04:00:00

My first (and second!) experiences of random breakdowns after literally
hours of happy racing. The first was earlier this evening when being
left WAAAAY behind at Mid Ohio - breaking for the keyhole when suddenly
"Wastegate failure" appeared and the car died. I wasn't too upset :)

Later on, racing Long Beach at 100% OPPS and 100% distance, 48 seconds
in front with about five laps to go and so backed off on the turbo,
braked earlier etc etc to "take care" of the car. Took the
chequered, won the race by about 35 seconds, cruised into the pits and
stopped waiting for the CCs - only to be greeted with "Engine Failure"
as my engine died. I'm only glad it didn't happen 5 minutes earlier...!

Cheers!
John
