First gear was fine, arse end slid about a bit. When I snapped it into second and the revs continued to climb but the car stopped accelerating. This was followed by a lovely smell of burnt clutch :(The car is only 6000ks old! Clutch seems to be working fine now. Is it normal to be slipping after so few ks?

Probably banged about 3 or 4 times before I got out of it and cruised the rest of the track.Car was okay for the rest of the night and seems to drive okay but now it has a constant squeak squeak squeak coming from the left rear.When I use the brakes, it goes away.I'm concerned I might have bent an axle slightly so I'll rip the wheels off tomorrow and have a look and see if I can suss it out.I bought a new set of genuine pads today just in case but I fear this might be a little more serious.Any tips ? Beside driving around with my foot on the brake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the pedal sucked back to the floor. It all happened pretty fast, but I remember putting the clutch back in and trying for third at even lower revs and it kept spinning. I rolled for a bit and took off again in second, everything back to normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longs pants and sleeves, closed shoes and your car needs to be scrutineered before you race.its all pretty low stress and they're used to noob questions so don't be scared to ask the staff or other competitors.
