Oulton Park 1998

The 1998 mono round was wet. (it was my 4th event ). I think this is more likely to be 1997. The blue car on the right is Pete Dittman and the race ended with Pete and Robin clashing on the last lap.

Looking at Andrews plan they are mcb and not rcd so you should be ok. Don't try a single phase into a 4 pin plug as there is no neutral. It would put 415 volts down your cable!!!!!!!

Use the 5 pin plug.

Live/phase (brown) into L1
Neutral (blue) into N
Earth ( green/yellow) into E

You use only 3 of the available 5 connections. This will be fine unless it goes into a 3 phase R.C.D socket where it may trip out.

Reds are not always 5 pin.

230v ac
Blue 16amp 32amp
3 pin phase neutral and earth.

415v ac
Red 16amp or 32amp
4 pin 3 phase and earth
5 pin 3 phase neutral and earth

My first car the Lola T642 had some big rear uprights that were very low to the ground and that...

Now a double world champ and 3 time monoposto runner up. I wonder which features at the top of his cv?

We'll done to my old (well he was very young back then) spanner Man Richard Warrington who is now a world champion with the Mercedes F1 team. He is part of the Lewis Hamilton pit crew.
We'll done mate

Only ever had one ratio broke in 7 1/2 seasons racing. Never changed a dog ring. Obviously not trying hard enough
