Well, after yesterday’s disappointment, another chance to run the car for a weekend and get it mapped was lost before the closing date for Rally GB entries. \u00a0This delay means that I’m four<\/strong>\u00a0weekends behind where I wanted to be – mostly delays from Jorily’s incredibly poor handling of my order (taking over a week to give me a price for a part, and then nearly 3 weeks to actually deliver the parts when ordered, despite a two-week period where I was told it had been sent but hadn’t), but also the latest problem with the oil pump\/front cover. \u00a0Having spent some time thinking about it and discussing it with Bryn, we have decided that we will not be entering the event this year. \u00a0Needless to say I’m gutted having spent a considerable amount of money getting the car ready (over \u00a31000 at last count), and of course Bryn had been preparing too, getting himself a medical so he could upgrade the licence, but with the small amount of time before the closing date that’s it, that’s all.<\/p>\n

I’m still going to get the car ready, having already ordered the last (\u00a33!) part needed to finish it off, so if the oil pressure issues are sorted then I’ll get the fuelling mapped up next weekend, and take it from there. \u00a0I may enter the Tempest Rally as I’d like to make some use of the car again this year, and the entry closes half way through half term, so I could competitively use the car before Rally GB. \u00a0Other than that, I’m not sure what the future holds – the car is eligible to do Rally GB 2012, and if all goes well will be completed with about 10 months to spare (as it runs in September 2012); the Sunseeker will be done in a different car, in case anyone is wondering, and there will be more to come on that front in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
