Guys it was our ITB car with the sequential gearbox that had an engine failure as Castle Coombe. We were there to set the cars up for the French Car Show and whilst testing the shifting on the gearbox the engine over revved and a conrod bolt let go.

The video looks a lot worse than it actually was and we are working to get the car ready for FCS.

At least we cannot be accused of testing our cars properly http://www.cliosport.net/forum/images/smilies/smiley2.gif

Yep, that'd do it

[Andrew Cooke]

hmm, apparently you need solid mounts with a sequential box, what's the possibility that he's using 'uprated' Kangoo ones?
