I had the worst luck really, the new track was horrible and far too grippy, with that and new tyres I managed to break a brand new AP racing clutch on only my second run :/

So with a slipping clutch and also somehow my boost had been set to 0.8 bar lol without me realising, plus missing 3rd gear as not used to my new quick shift I did a 12.9 @ 107mph

Really wasn't my day

No not really, just frustrating so much going wrong! Didn't realise I was the only 4wd having problems, I had an argument with the guy at the beginning of the strip as he wouldn't put any water on my tyres although they always have done to others before! No I missed that, was it quick?

nah it couldnt put the power down (600bhp through the front wheels!) but it was more when it went to stop..... they had a funny brake set up, rear end tried to overtake the front and he went into a wall!

But yeah saw a few 4WD cossies blowing up diffs and breaking shafts etc when trying to launch hard!

Wennys mk3 escort was mental though haha think thats the most runs ive ever seen him do in a day without it breaking lol

i know,last weekend was the first time ive run this year and the new surface has so much more grip, but i guess thats the idea.

when i was there last weekend there was a few cars breaking driveshafts and diffs on launch.
