I was not meaning anything by my post , just recall a number of "low boost" type posts about wrc.

just to add , I did not want to tell someone to screw in a dawes unless there was decent cooling. basically forcing a car to run more boost , with high intakes would lead to det.

I didn't 'read' anything into your post

it's just that having been there, I was quite impressed with their operation and felt they tried to give vfm as opposed to just turn them round as quick as possible like, dare I say, PTS at Luton did on an earlier RR day. One that Bob also attended

edit: BTW I also went to PE a few days after WRC and got very similar results.

WRC run 3rd gear as opposed to 4th at others.

Nothing wrong with PTS.......

Very accurate too

And I was saying the place was OK. I'd been there twice before, but not on a shootout, and they seemed fine, I was quite satisfied with them.

I think the guy running the cars was under pressure from the 'main man' Wasn't a good day by any stretch.
