Finally got round to getting the Wetsie on track and had a good day, although GOODWOOD is a very fast track so some of the real big power stuff (Audi RS6 / M3 CSL) went past me on the straights easily as the Westie tops out about 120mph and it was my first time on the track.
Second session did not go so well however as the car decided to cut out in the pits, a quick battery booster pack and it was off on the session, however the power all then went and I had to be towed off the track! Once back in the paddocks had a good look and saw the main wire from the alternator to the battery had become brittle and snapped due to the heat of the manifold. A quick repair and it was off on another session which was so much better! The car went better than before and had a great time! Oh the shift light was very good....
So, have ordered some heat shielding for the wires and will re-do that once the parts arrive.
Here is a pic that someone took of the car in the paddocks:
