Default blew my motor :(
Hot weekend at thunderhill, 3rd session of the day, lap before final lap, on straight way. Cylinder #4 like most 00 and early 01, not sure what exactly happened but there must be a hole on engine block somewhere behind flywheel. Good thing is I set my personal best lap time of 2:01.19 right before that lap.

should have video soon

Time for new motor

That sucks but congrats on your time at least something good came out of it.

You going to keep the new motor stock or build a nice higher hp NA motor?

Sorry to hear about your motor. It was SUPER hot on saturday, I only made 3 laps before my water temp climbed to unsafe levels and had to cut 1000rpm out. Hey were you paddocked behind the garages?
