My 3 litre 2008 Series 2 Roadster has had a Williams retune before I bought it so don’t know what it was like before Steward, You are lucky (but you knew that already!), the Williams tune is a great improvement: much more free reving. Also, I had intake and filter updraded, which is also provides a nice sound. Another improvement is that I use bonnet extensions http://www.morganhoods.com/id69.html which I think help breathing (and cooling). So enjoy your Williams retune!

Speaking of ARV6's you should have seen Andrew Thompson's at Snetterton today. Leading from the beginning and lapping back markers well before the end of the 30 minute race with nobody else remotely close.
.
Andrews car also has 15bhp less than the other ARV6 that was running in second place Do you have dyno figures for all the competitors Simon, or just those in the ARV6 class? This would make for a very interesting topic of conversation. A well sorted car in the handling and braking department can certainly make up for small-ish power deficiencies, as you mention when the driver trusts the car 100% it becomes "chuckable", and of course great fun to drive fast.

I do have dyno figures for every competitor, we’re in the process of simplifying the regulations and moving to a power to weight class structure As of October I’m the new Technical Secretary for the Championship

In the first race at Donington Park this year Andrew was lapping at the same pace (and beating) a car with over a 130 odd BHP more (Roger Whiteside Class A + 8)

Richard, when was your chassis build started (thought it was close to mine)?
Build no. 102349, it was finished in the tin shop on Tuesday 10th July 2018 so I'm guessing engine went in late the previous week. I don't know if anything can be read from the engine spec sticker but this is mine. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/XjtxdMQ.jpg) Couldn't quite read yours but if you could check and get back to me. Thanks Jon and maybe see you this coming week.

Richard, your serial no is just 8 up from mine
The Build no & FCS quote are identical, when I spoke to Power Torque in Coventry a couple of years ago they were pretty clueless on flywheel specs
I wonder if Simon (SiFab) could explain why some are dual & some solid ??

My Brooklands has the factory fix for the rev hang but they don't supply that now.
