Video: Cadwell Park - UKSaabs Track Day 2009

[soulfirer]

Hi guys,

Thought I would share for those who have not seen it.

15 min video taken at Cadwell Park Trackday a few weeks ago, published to streetfire.net

My thanks to those who have already contributed to the Oil Starvation discussions.

For those who do not know, Cadwell Park has two very fast long right handers after a 120mph straight. Park and Chris curves.
When taking them flat out, some of the power saabs suffered oil starvation when their oil got pinned to the left wall of their hot engines pulling high revs in 3rd gear.
Cranks, blocks, con rods, big ends, shells, turbos.
Lots of damage.

why the spoiler on the yellow "race car"? doesn't need it.

Neo's put the spoiler on as an afterthought I think. Horses for courses. They like it.

With or eithout, they have turned it into a fast track day car anyways, and it was driven fairly aggresively.

I do like the centre exhaust, and I have always loved the 19' Hirsch alloys. Just shows that you can get a car handling well on 19's.

Re Oil starvation, (where oil is pinned to side of engine block going fast round bends), Neo's have rebuilt the grinnall and plan to dry sump. Pricey. YLee has got an accusump and is having it fitted, I am simply gathering me pennies to rebuild the engine and get back on the road.

None too happy about long left or right sweeping bends now though..........
