power loss round corners?
Hi all, I was at Snetterton yesterday which was great fun! but I noticed when pushing hard round the first and second corners, although having my foot
planted i still felt the car accelerate a noticeable amount harder once straightened up!?!
Is this normal? or do you think maybe the clutch is giving up? but then I didn't notice more revs, just less pull.
Any thoughts welcome.
Thanks
Shaun

AHHH didn't think of that 
I think I had about 1/4 tank left in there so could well be the problem. Thanks to all for the speedy responses 
Will post up some video once the camera talks to the damn laptop!!!!!
Cheers,
Shaun

i would say definately fuel surge if you only had a 1/4 of a tank.
I love Pinto's, even if i did get mine from P&O!

Hi
Fuel starvation would be quite noticeable. More likely cause is the common problem. Lack of damper droop travel on the rear end. Depends on the
chassis Race / Road. And whether RAW have put the brakets in the right place !!!.

Beat me to it, wheel spin.
I would expect fuel starvation to show its head at the end of the straights not going onto them.
