That's an impressive desk ornament! 3rd gear gone! Great to see that you're not frantically fixing the car between races this time. I'm hoping to pop down to Castle Combe next Sunday as only just down the road from me. I'll come and say hi again if I do.

It’s nice just having a ‘to do’ list which is cleaning the car 🤣 Yeah pop over and say hello 👍

Are there gear sets available that have a shallower helix angle? They'd get you closer to the strength of straight cut ones, but still fit within the rules. Also, I remember reading about cryo treatments helping gears become more resilient.

Frozen Solid for Cryo Treatment.

Quaife won't last 2 laps...junk

[@Tomkitek]

I’m not aware of anything like that and with our regs it has to be standard gears so not much I can do…

[@Tomkitek]

It’s managed 60 minutes of racing so far. Not much option other than chancing an original set….

​@Tomkitek i wouldn't use Quaife.......but BEST of luck

Thought of you today as I was wandering around Beaulieu Autojumble as there were loads of 2000e boxes about.

[@Tomkitek]

I’ll have to go to that next time!! 😂
