K&J Racing

Four laps was all we got in quali, but turned them into gold. , Lighting. , , , .hq, , , , , , .

Not the qualifying session we were expecting. We’re dealing with the exact same issue as last time — the piston oil jets are failing, breaking apart, and the fragments are getting into the oil pump. The debris jams the pump, snaps the belt and that was game over.

H‑pattern gearbox muscle memory returning nicely. Four clean sessions and the car feels great.
Only issue is the cabin turning into a sauna. Need to upgrade the cooling before the driver taps out. 🏁

SMP track day today. 🏁🏁

Back on track and feeling pumped! After a quiet 6 months, the car is finally coming together again — new engine bearing shells are in, the broken piston oil jets are sorted, and the chassis is looking healthy. Counting down to early April when we fire it up for two test days before racing kicks off again on May 17th. Can’t wait to get back out there! 🚗💨

It’s never a good sign, when the driver has mechanics gloves on working on the engine.

Race 1 was going so well, started P32 and was P25 within a few laps, it was all hooked up and running so strong until we lost oil pressure. It spun the dry sump oil pump belt. Not sure why, need to investigate this further. I shut the engine down once the oil light came on, so hopefully it didn’t sustain any engine damage.

Qualifying done, unfortunately there were 3 red fans but managed to get 1 clean lap. Was 6 seconds a lap faster than last time with more time in it.. Starting P32.
