It snapped a drive shaft going out to the qualifying session, we got it swapped in time for the final but it had some other damage that prevented it from setting a good time.
We are off to Zandvoort in 10 days so the car is currently being sorted at KPM and will be ready for it's next adventure :driver: :driver:
Janner_Sy:
Is driveshaft failure a known issue in the Mk5/6 race cars or was it just a one off? Any uprated alternatives or is it a case of buy loads of stock ones and replace them as required?
Tfsi_Mike:
Cadwell is renowned to be harsh on transmissions due to frequently skipping around and getting air time with all the mad elavation changes

The driveshafts do fail (see APR's FB page) so we will be carrying spares. In our case it was the outer CV it killed but this was one of the few old parts on the car.

Whats the latest with the TA car then Steve?
Are we getting a full spec :party:
