Sounds like some serious fun & thrills. Can you remember the offset of the 15x7's?

that looks like its fun, iam amazed how well it gets traction i thought it would start turnong tyres we you get on the boost and it looks like you werent easing on the throttle.
Have you done your high boos tune or not yet?

Yeah I grips really well with the r888's especially when they get warmed up. On the day I had a boost leak which I still haven't resolved so was only running 10PSI however as you can see I was still competitive. I will run 20PSI when on full boost so expecting 300KW atw. Will probably re tune it in a month or two.

I had a great day, was a bit hot on the day though, can't wait for the cooler months. I'm looking forward to the Wakefield SFCC trackday I will definitely come to that!

Trying a different approach to keeping the old girl cool. This should eliminate heat soak also.

Would have been cheaper setting your thermo's to come on when a heat soak situation was happening.  None the less its a good idea

Heatsoak is typically the increase in engine temp after the engine is switched off, when this happens damage can occur to turbos etc when oil cooks and bakes on bearings etc. The electric water pump will continue to run up to two minutes after the engine is switched on circulating the water thru the engine and turbo. It does also free some much needed space between the radiator and the block so I can mount a second fan.

why not both? have a manuel override switch or even a temperature switch. there is plenty of different options.
