  • It's another race weekend and this time I head to Brands Hatch to race on the historic Grand Prix circuit. The racing is close but as ever some quick fixes are needed to keep the car on track.
    You will see that the racing is close but the competitors have a unifying purpose of racing these classic single seaters.

    Nice improvement overall, especially with that 1:41 in the race. Well done Richard!

      Thanks, I was so pleased to get in the 1:41s and now feel confidence growing.

    Thank you, great footage bringing back distant (1986ish) memories

      You’re never too old to come out of retirement for one last race!

      @toooldandtooslow still a dream of mine. I tried pre-74 FF then and teamed up with the Hampshiers of Eldon fame when they returned with their Formula Renault and FF2000. I think Danny Stazl may be linked to Elden as I see his name on their posts/ friends.
      Keep doing a great job. It's been great seeing your improvement. I was never a front runner or had a big budget ☹️ Did the GP circuit once and someone I used to race with and chat in the paddock had an off.

    Excellent driving skills. You are improving and I’m sure you’ll be on the podium soon. Great video and yes it’s a good analytical tool post race. Thanks for taking the time to post. Cheers from Texas.

    Do yourself a favour, remove the mount under the muffler. Your exhaust will no longer crack.

    • @toooldandtooslow
      @toooldandtooslow  Місяць тому

      I would but the muffler weighs 5lbs and would pull the exhaust off. I’m having a stainless steel exhaust modified and hopefully that will be working in a feed weeks.

      @@toooldandtooslow , I've been taking my welder to the track for the past 20 years. I have made emergency repairs to many broken exhausts - but only ones with supports for the muffler.
      I removed the support for my muffler over 20 years ago, and it has never cracked.
      I suspect that it has something to do with dampening out engine vibrations.
