Been busy once agen.

Did a test Tuesday it al went fine.

And went racing this wekend. The car performed fine after a couple of smal adjustments.
On saturday we finished 9 th after a trip out off track. we where up on 6 th place before this.

1 race on sunday went ok, started on 9 th place, the track was wet but dryed so we coud speed up. We ended in 6 th place.
2 race on sunday we started in pole position, but unfortunaly we went off. The track was soacing wet and the front tyres locked. After the race i think i knew why, i had adjusted the front rear brake adjuster over to max front brake by an acident. leson learned dont take on the helmet and hans in the car.

Some picks, wil post a film later

















Tyre smoke

And the film, the track was wet when we went out. So it was hard in the beginning to get up some speed, but i dryed up and the speed rised.
Hope you like it.

Some pictures from the last race this weekend.

Managed a 7. place on saturday, whit a broken topp gasket.

Changed that, after i had been at Ringspeed racing 6 hours of traveling to have the topp planed and washed, Ringspeed advised me to turn down the ignition 3 degres after the skiming / planing (0,2).
Also changed cracked brake disk at the front, that i picked up at RS Euroford. And to clean the dry sump system and engine it went 16liters of fresh oil.
The car was ready 2 minutes before the first final on sunday, the car was bether than ever and it felt like i got 40 horses more than before! But the race control did not like that my car was sliding so much, i told him that i cant help it, the car drives wery difrently that i was used to before. So some nice folks decided to sponsor me whit some new rear tyres to get grip.

In the last final, i was up in 3. place, the car felt realy good whith new tyres, and i had no problem, until the car dident want to go properly, i stopet and had to se the rest of the race from the side line. I was towed in and after parc ferme i opened the hood and.. the one ignition cable on number 4 had falen off.

Some pictures, it will be a new film soon from this race, intill then heres an complete film from the race befor this.

Hope you like it, next race is over the boarder to Sweden, 24-27 July on Kinnekulle ring
In the 2. final on saturday i was up i

Re: From Rallycross car to GT4 Racing Escort RWD "G3"

watched all vids great racing. looks a handful exiting corners.
you would go much faster if you didnt have that HUGE spoiler on boot, but would it be uncontrollable then?

Re: From Rallycross car to GT4 Racing Escort RWD "G3"

Hi there

Never tried it whit out the spoiler realy, only adjusted it a cuple of times wich helped alot, in the way i didnt slide as much whith the rear. But i will try it whit out the big spoiler on traning after sweden. Have changed the front springs up 50 pounds now, so hopefully it wil give more traction on the inner rear wheel at corners.

Been doing some other stuff also the last week.
I have never got the time to figure out the windshield wiper, since i put the new engine inn, and the webers and air filter are now living where the wiper motor original was. So i bougth a boat wiperengine, wich take 120 degres, and the problem was fixed.



And i had to fix one wery special switch in the car (dont knew if you have seen the Norwegian racing film "Flåklypa", if you have, you wil ounderstand



Made me a spliter up front today, hope it wil help the car get up to speed quiker and push more air over the car than under.. just have to try it, shoud be a bit lower too.







And new collor on the wheels





Only 3 days left now before we are going to Sweden, just some minor preps left and its ok
