Nice one! If that was the day you finished setting up our R8GT before heading off to Combe, that was a real scorcher!! Lid and a hoodie in that heat must have been a killer!
Ricky, you said you took it steady on the car, A/C off. Why ? Do they struggle when run on track on hot days ? Does it damage the compressor ? Gearbox seems high, I can see why that`s something you were aware of, but a modern fully synthetic engine oil at 120 is not breaking down, I thought the R8`s with their dry sump didn`t have any oil pressure / cooling issues ? I like these videos, just chatting to the camera, sharing what you are experiencing. Keep em coming.
Hello Mate, I run it on track with AC off as it takes load off the engine as the compressor is a massive draw….it also stops the condensers in the front heating up abs removing efficiency from the rads in behind them. The gearbox is a bit high for stock fluid in my opinion, the aftermarket stuff we use is high performance, fully synthetic and like the oil can handle 150deg…..just me trying to be kind to the car. OEM fluids just can’t handle much more even if they are synthetic…… I’ll do a full Motul fluid change to motorsport grade and just feel much safer. Thank you for the kind words, glad you are enjoying the vids!
I came back here after you said in recent videos that your track day videos always bomb 📉 can't understand why, still great content, great filming, well constructed! A youtube mystery!
Everytime I hear someone shout "Ricky!" I automatically hear Bianca from eastenders 😂
It's funny, but my wife also thinks the door handle operates the brakes, great vlog
😂😂.
The look on Kate's face is absolutely hilarious!
😂😂
Fab stuff, well done Kate 👍
🙈🙈 thank you 😊

Never had you down as a warm weather woos Rick. lol.
I like it cold….helps make power!
@@REPerformanceUK Can't dispute that.
Brilliant mate,did the heat effect the lap times?
Yes as tyres were way out the window!
Did your helmet scratch the roof?
Probably lol
Best lap time, you or the Ultima?
No official timing allowed but I overtook it! 😂
@@REPerformanceUK hope you left him a business card! Would be most interesting to see what you could do with that and a pair of turbos
Steady on the baldy bashing Elder, comes to most eventually!
Hahaha
How interested would you be in having a play with a mk1 Renault Clio Williams turbo?😂
Always interested in new projects!!
