Hello.
I am very pleased to continue to make you live the French adventure of this beautiful 968 Turbo RS.

I brought her to France in August 2015 and I immediately engaged in the Championship of France Historic circuits. I had started this championship driving a Marcos Mantis GTO


First meeting at Nogaro







First race: 4éme/8 in GTC3
2nd race : 4éme / 8 in GTC3
3rd race :Abort following a loss of a screw that holds the linkage the gearbox !!!


I have fixed


Last meeting: Lédenon
With my friend who have a 944 turbo Cup






First race
4éme /7 in GTC3


2nd race
3éme / 7 in GTC3 .....My first podium wiyh this car

I end this 2015 championship in 11th place overall after having run on two different cars (4th and 5th in GTC2 in GTC3)



And to finish this year, I went on Paul Ricard where I could drive 6 times 30 minutes







In conclusion: This 968 is really a very good race car and seems very reliable

In 2016, with my friend and his 944 Turbo Cup, we will run the Sport Cup Challenge with the Porsche Club Motorsport

Big day at 7:30 am with a start to Aix ................. some congestion and arrive at the workshop.
Car discharged, moored



and it pulls .............. tortoise and hare skull and finally !!!! Not bad at all, with a remark technicians, "the mixture is too rich you really wash too !!! cylinders in our opinion."
Needless to follow a good half-dozen shots with corrections to this mixture but without much down either, as a turbo is not an atmo, and a lot of factors can disturb the results.
The acquisition of data via the Haltech system which equips the car can act in small successive strokes immediately after each shot.
The 10th will be the last shot.



With acceptable values ​​but still "rich" We were on the 0.72 to 5500tr / min at the first shot and was now 0.77.




We thus arrive at a power to the wheels that range from 320-380 hp. Not bad at all!!!

Management balances to measure the weight
1136 kg with 25 liters of gasoline and wheels "Veloce 3.6L" which lestent Auto 12 kg compared to the BBS.
A weighed with the driver: 1212 kg.

it did not work the weight to the wheels because the transition to MSC2 over Yoko Slicks may have to make us change the geometry. We'll see after the planned early March Bugatti how does the car with the current settings.

Next step: the great review that will be done at CAS in early January.

Happy Holidays !!!!!

A busy weekend !!
Time soon arrive at Classic Auto Sport, and soon landed up on deck for the great review of early season ...



Flat front bottom removed is the big piece that begins: Changing belts 4






The output of the central pulley vilo will cause all devices



Reassembly





Small-time against the belt of the oil pump is too long !! Lindsay has changed its references from the original installation and the former is rising while waiting for the same nine !! Otherwise, it will take shim to pump support to make up the gap in Length.

Contact, it turns !!! The oil must be heated before emptying and Dimi, the mechanic took the opportunity to do a full check of the bodies under the body.

Checking tightening gimbals screws, rods, shock absorbers





Verification of the exhaust and supercharging line



The oil is hot, engine oil, so the easily accessible oil tank !!



We dismantle one of the connections on the bottom of the case to fully drain the remaining pipes.



New oil filter and fill 13 L of PETRONAS Syntium Racer 10W60. , The circuit should contain L 15/16; the difference must be trapped in the two oil coolers and some hoses.



Emptying the gearbox for easy filling can be accessed directly with the can !! The new rear floor and 120L aviation fuel tank have cleared all environmental transmission . We will do the season with Motul 74W140 with an intermediate drain.



Replacement of the brake fluid pressure machine with the final purge pedal .... old !!!



The check up revealed a leak at the DA bowl leak that dirties the entire right side of the engine compartment in addition to the recovery of oil vapors.



Bowl starting hoses will be changed; you must also replace the coils and spark plugs (I had not done the reading references) and the air filter.



So it was decided to leave the car at Classic Auto Sport that he ends the review completely. The first race is early March; it has time to tweak everything.

Through the cabin "engine" of the workshop, I could not help admiring the work in progress !!
What goldsmith work of refurbishing this old Flat6 !!



And 4-cylinder quietly waiting reassembly !!! But shhh !!! it's a secret!!



In short, a dream holiday among enthusiasts who really love what they do and I'll share the adventure throughout the new season by participating in the BRM Sport Cup Trophy Porsche Motorsport.
