Outrageous prices
Sir, May I take up a little of your time to endorse the remarks in the letter of Mr Peter Biggs (Motor Sport, November 1988) concerning spectating at Silverstone? Like…
My own preference is for waste to be disposed of, as far as is practicable, as soon as it becomes available ; an engine that warms up quickly but never overheats. This requires either blower air-cooling, which is admittedly not easy to achieve quietly and without power loss, or a large radiator with fan and really capable thermostat. I have yet to encounter a standard thermostat that is large enough to cope, as it should, with unlimited cooling capacity, but it is quite easy to arrange. Fan power-loss at really high revs. could be avoided by a centrifugal deelutcher cutting-out the fan at, say, 4,000 r.p.m.
