Hi all -
I was at a test day today, supporting some friends and came across this in the paddock amongst some other 'nice' machinery...rockonsmile
It looked and sounded awesome having just been "rebuilt from a bare chassis in the last 14 days"...
But, alas, it was not hooning around the track as there was a transmission issue. Speaking to the engineers, it would appear that there was possibly a shimming issue that left it stuck in second once driven (trans had also been rebuilt). All the gears selected ok prior to today, but this would have been the first driven test... Still, better to identify on a test day rather than a race day, after all, that's what test days are for...
