The last couple of days have involved lots of research and practical tests to help me decide what choices to make in relation to the engines chargecooling system.  Thanks have to go out to both Sam Borgman at TDI and Alex at Pro-Alloy who have, in the absence of my own grey matter, leant me theirs over the course of several extended phone conversations.  We have known for some time that our chargecooling system hasn't been working as efficiently as we would hope and this translates to a big loss of horsepower on the race track.  

Lots of organising, parts ordering and general preparation going since the first blog entry.  I've booked a Villa for all the guys to stay during an before the event so they now have some very comfortable surroundings to recoup in and hopefully they will be giving 100% during the event as a result of that and also booked all the flights.  I have several spreadsheets running to try to keep on top of timescales, spares list, budgets and car preparation.  Scary how much prep goes into a 24 hour race!
