Entered the final round eight of the Road&Track series, felt a bit less like a noob this time which feels good.
Quite happy with how the car went, learnt a few lessons. Camber and a proper wheel alignment made the car go around corners 99.9% better! Car went really well the first 3 times out, was passing a few cars that was fun, then the 4th time out had a little electrical issue and looks like fuel pump has shorted out.
Mechanical side, she was blowing a bit of smoke under heavy engine breaking by the final race. The two first things I suspect are I have put to light an oil in it (10 40) and the oils getting past the rings, which dropped the pressure at idle when hot and was bit scary but should be fine. Or the turbo has done a seal? Which i know this engine is known for doing to turbos, possible due to bad oil supply? Will need to do some research on turbos :lol:
Electrical meltdown on final time out appears to be a shorted out fuel pump wire but still TBC hopefully it’s not anything to nasty.
