The smile on Mikes face said it all after a few hot laps round Bruntingthorpe Sunday morning. As a bench mark there was a Junior Ginetta, which we know should be about the same pace, but Mike caught and took it once he had his tyres scrubbed in. Spoox did a good mapping job and the car was smooth but very quick on the old MK2 lump. We ran it up and down our lane a few times and from low revs the torque pushed your back into the seat and the engine spun to 7000 without a cough or splutter. I started first time after standing with no fuel starvation either. Hopefully a full test at Mallory on Wednesday will continue the data gathering. Now we will miss the first round our efforts can be on the 750 test at Mallory in mid March and the Easter Monday meeting at Castle Combe, giving Spoox plenty of time to get the MK1 engine rebuilt.
