I’m aiming to be there for 8 too so I can get registered and on the track in one of the earlier sessions.

Re: Castle Combe Track Day 29 May
I'll be coming along A420 / A419 to J15.. Just waiting for info on Tony's route in
I have some time on track booked, so now thinking I'll be earlier than your plans.
Make your arrangements without worrying about me and if I see you on the road, I'll latch on.

Basically, yes. It will give you a read out of CO and HC as per MOT.pistolpete wrote: ↑Fri May 28, 2021 14:40Does that let you know how rich your running, so you can reduce it while its plugged in .if so please that would be great
It’s actually a 4 gas analyser, but the O2 cell has expired, otherwise it would also tell you lambda.

Great pictures Phil.
I took a few, but not up to that standard.

Re: Castle Combe Track Day 29 May
Great shots Tanz. Got an eye for it.
- I think you could come up with an improved logo proposal than the current one if (on your trips to events), you took side-view shots of an Elite S1, an Eclat Sprint, and a post 89 Excel (maybe a red Celebration), then photoshopped them into a similar processed graphic. The photos would be a more accurate epresentation than the current proposal and the evolution from Elite to final model Excel would be complete.

Re: Castle Combe Track Day 29 May
Re your logo comments Peter - join the queue! Mike Kimberley wants the rear arch spats added to the Excel!
I thought I was safe as the pictures are actually from a Lotus Christmas card from the mid-eighties. However it was obviously produced by marketing not engineering!
If anyone has the graphics skills to improve the logo please step forward.
Cheers, Richard

Re: Castle Combe Track Day 29 May

Re: Castle Combe Track Day 29 May
Phil, if you can find such pictures then great but they will need a lot of skilled work to turn them into drawings with consistent backgrounds etc.
I would only invest the time in finding suitable pictures if someone with the right skills steps forward and is prepared to produce numerous versions for eventual approval!
I, and I think most people, quite like the look of the existing drawings and all they need is the background fixing IMHO. Everyone may have a different opinion of what each car should look like but need to realise that people put time in voluntarily to create such work and it is not a service anybody pays for!
