I have known cars take to the track literally days after completing the 1,000 mile run-in period.

My first event was at 2k miles, and that included a 500 mile drive to get there. Car felt much better afterwards

I agree.
Once the first service was out of the way I was straight on the track.
Certainly seems to have helped the car...well, somewhat!

But stef havent you had a new engine and three new gearboxes!!!

Stef

No, only two gearboxes!
Seriously though, my short block was replaced due an engine fault and only one gearbox failed really. The second one was faulty when it was fitted.
I won't be running at Spod as much, if ever, let's put it that way.
