Hi,

Does anyone know where I could get to see a close-up of the new SR3 Aero pack apart from visiting the factory? I would like to speak to anyone who races this set-up to establish how effective it is compared to the 'old set-up' before I decide to commit to an upgrade for next season.

Thanks,

Myd

Last I heard virtually all of the SR3s in the Enduros had upgraded which I guess tells you all you need to know about how effective it is for racing.

Luckily for me I'm in Hungary right now so don't have to worry about blowing 5k on this

Myd, you could have popped along to magny-cours this weekend as I was racing an SR3 with the 2006 aero package on in the V de V 12 hr race, I can tell you it makes a noticable difference ! we finished 2nd in class by the way..
Tony.

Hi Tony,

Well broke a damper on the test day plus my high pressure fuel pump gave in. It was around 11pm on Sat night that I got hold of 2 dampers from a 1970's Davrian along with its high pressure fuel pump. Put it together but it handled dreadfully (as you would expect) and the fuel mixture was not good, took a huge gamble to drive it.

However, still managed 2nd quickest, led the 1st race for 3 laps but car was under performing so I pulled into the pits before end of the race. 2nd race I jumped from 5th on the grid to 2nd by the 1st corner, just watch the link below....it was a tight squeeze..!

Again retired before end of race to avoid any damage to the engine. It will be back on form very shortly and with Mark Fisher - GH Racing's expert hand with the engine tuning I have no doubt that next year will be very interesting for my season challenge.

As for the new Aero Pack, I will give you a call soon for a chat on what you thought of the car's performance.

Thanks,

Myd
