Hello to all host i watched the race 1 im  very disappointed in the decision to run my car and anyone else's car that has a mechanical problem . We put alot of money in our hobby. To continue to run my. Or any  car knowing there was a problem to me is unacceptable. There was a clear issue with the car ,please in the Future remove all car that have major issues. My tires are wore down and the stress on my motor..This is my Humble Opinion Thank You Adrian Shropshire. /ALS

Adrian, I completely understand your frustration. When entering a proxy you are entrusting others with your property that you have invested both time and money into, and the last thing you want is to think that has been mistreated. I know this all too well as I have on more that one occasion received cars back in a poor and damaged state. I can assure you that had you car been in an unfit mechanical state at the start, we would not have run it. 
I have also reviewed the footage and agree with Graham in that the fault started to develop toward the end of the first run and likely worsened throughout the second run. It is unfortunate timing in that the second run driver likely had no benchmark of the cars earlier performance and was probably unaware of what the car was capable of before the issue. Bare in mind the variety of cars and builds we receive in a single proxy, other cars - Paul’s Alfa GTV, Bangers Ford P68 and Makem’s Triumph for example - exhibit similar, albeit probably less severe, symptoms due to how the car was constructed rather than a fault. 
All that being said, on reflection, I agree that had the issue been recognised, it would have been diligent to power off and abort the heat and investigate the issue, so I do apologise that it wasn’t picked up on sooner. I can assure you that your car is very much still in a serviceable state and hope that with a couple of tweaks it carries in this proxy
