Hmm, think you might be right. Current plan is engine out and to the re-builders. Hope he can look at it quick and see how quick it can be sorted... and possibly go back in. If there's any delay's the old one can go back.

So to be honest I think it's going back.

Really sorry to here of your woes Adi but I do think a little oil cooler might not be a bad idea if the No4 is marginal anyway....

I put some (poorly edited) video here...

The new MK Stealth RGB car looked good but the engine failed after a few laps. It should still be out at Brands next week. I'd only just gone out with a cold engine and tyres when he came past so he dissapeared pretty quick.

A bit more video before it broke...

Danny Keenan from MK in the Indy BUSA race engined race car at the start. I can see ARB's on the agenda soon given how mch quicker he was through the first chicane.
