Thanks man, awesome find! :congrats:
BWJ is my engine, i have to install etka these days. :) :laugh:
You're right, the only thing that remains is the brake duct relocation. That should take some work, it was very hard installing them because u need space to turn the wheels. :doh:
LE: I've checked ETKA online and it seems that there is no code for the air duct (41), exacly what should be different.

AFAIK your Leon doesn't use that part, so it might not be needed/compatible. I've checked other years and none has that part.

Yeah, I will talk to my mechanic to see if we can fit the extra radiator without affecting the brake ducts. If I'd have to choose between brake and engine cooling, it'll be brake cooling.

Thanks mate! Yeah it was really close indeed, there were 3 practice sessions of 15 min and 3 race sessions. I missed one practice session because I wasn't paying attention when my group was called. :signLOL:
And I had only one change for a good laptime because of the traffic in the first race session. After that, my brakes have overheated and I tried one more fast lap. At over 180km/h I tried to brake for the only hairpin of the track, i felt i had no brakes and I decided to keep the wheels straight and use the field to stop. Got out of there and went straight to the box. I've seen that my brake fluid has spilled out of the recipient. Scary moment!
I decided to not take part in the second and third race session, because I've seen my laptime and at that point I was 1 seconds faster then the fastest guy at "Race" class and 2 sec faster then the Lotus which was in my class, "Supersport". I could only hope.
Then I've seen their laptimes drop, but I've got lucky. :jumping:
I have to be better prepared because the weather is getting warmer as the summer is approaching. :thinking:
dansmith180:
Wow I bet that was seriously intense watching his lap times.
Yeah fading brakes is scary so I can imagine no brakes is :scared:, good that there was plenty of run off and all was OK in the end
Yeah doing time attacks is hard work as it is so doing it in that heat is a real challenge. Winning whilst only taking part in half of the sessions is very impressive though :congrats:
