Belle course ! Bien meilleur pilotage que la Lotus Elan qui avait des trajectoires très aléatoires, mais sa tenue de route est un peu supérieur a la TVR, et donc à moteur égale c'est une très bonne course que vous avez réussi. Bravo !
Not sure how the Lotus pulled away some times, seemed to have an extra boost. On the last corner before the grandstand straight, you both took different lines, how come? Could you not follow directly?
@@stuartnaylor3969 The Lotus is twin cam so smoother power delivery and he is approx 70kg lighter which always helps. I was forcing him to go defensive on the last corner so I could take a wider line and get earlier on the power so I could try and stick with him down the straight.
Cracking race there, you were all over the back of that Elan! Guess lap 10 was were the power dropped off a little, then the filling fell out of the sandwich 😂. Some might say a rose between two thorns...😁🙃! But probably only us TVR nutters
Certainly getting Mark rattled a bit.Impressive acceleration from 60 to 100 mph ... What do you reckon taking weight off the Vixen somehow. Pity they didn`t market it with the Twin /Can unit.
@@limjamrace Yeah made him sweat a bit! I’m actually 40kg overweight. Would need a new bonnet and doors to lose that. Power wise we are actually very similar. The twin cam just picks up revs smoother
@@Tomkitek OK thx. I'm running std std 7.5" Helix which lasts approx 6 events, so two clutches each season. Thinking of fitting Lotus Twincam 8.5" clutch & flywheel this winter to see if that improves longevity. As you say the AP race clutch is a bit too off/on for road use. 👍

@@The_Cotswold_Engineer It was a fun race. Always nice having a close battle for a few laps
What engine/state of tune in your TVR?
It’s a 1658cc Ford Crossflow. All steel with twin 40 carbs but regs restrict us to 32 chokes.

Great racing. I was willing you past but not to be. Out of interest what clutch are you running?
It’s an AP racing clutch. It’s either on or off which is a bit of a pain.
