My trip to the ring this year was interesting the car felt amazing with consistent 8:50 lap times. but on the second to last day my car developed a noise from rear. I got the car back home (I hired a trailer lucky) striped the diff and found the pinion missing some teeth

Yeah, I'm wondering how hot the diff gets to when you are really peddling fast... Cooling kit is certainly a good idea. Was the Quaife damaged when the pinion lost a tooth? In any case a rebuild is necessary with new bearings, etc. to be on the safe side.

did you have an oil leak prior to failure?
do you burn your tires on dry tarmac, this will eventually kill your diff!

The car looks awesome! Did you run any in car video this time around? Any 'unofficial' lap times? Are they still running a speed limit in the one section? I have to say that the car looks amazing again (I'm in love!)
