Brands Hatch

Had an annoying first race of the season at Brands Hatch in March. The car handled well and felt well balanced but had developed a misfire at 4,500rpm and it would not rev any higher. Through qualiying and two races we failed to diagnose the problem and I finished both races well down the field. We changed the plugs and checked the electrics and sensors.

After getting the car home I got some advice and checked the phase sensor and the crank position sensor which turned out to be out of adjustment. I adjusted this to 0.8mm and the car seems to be working well now. Next race is at Silverstone National on April 19th.

First race finished 22nd, second race finished 19th. Best lap time was 1.00.5. All timings from the TSL Timing site.
