Hotwire and speedo are both equipped with the lastest software.
Done a complete race now: even though itīs still blinking randomly, no problems occured, just as DCM had presumed.

So, it seems thereīs no need to go back to 203, as the temperature was lower and brakes just plain better with 208. But thanks Kev, Iīll drop you a line if the old software is needed nevertheless.

Randy,

I had a different problem recently: during a race the car stopped a few times and just sounded bad. In the next moment it went on without a problem. Some other driver told me it could be the sensor wire came undone just a little bit, as this had happened to him before, although with no Tekin. The next race the car drove fine again, but a few days ago it had some heavy hesitation from a standstill. After changing the motor I saw that one single lead of the sensor wire had come loose. Changed the cable and it was fine again.

So, the RS can drive with and without a sensor wire, but it seems that it can get problems when the cable isnīt completely off, like just one single lead off.
Maybe this is something which could be looked into, that the RS handles an even just slightly faulty sensor wire like itīs completely off to avoid being unable to drive on. Actually, my motor was strangely cooked when it had these heavy starting problems with the faulty cable (the speedo remained cool).
