An RV8 cooling fan delay upgrade has been developed as a kit by RV8 member Paul Ireland and tested by fellow member Nic Houslip on his RV8. That testing included a track day at Castle Coombe where the RV8 had to work hard and as a result the engine and coolant became quite hot. The result was the timer allowed the cooling fan to run on after the car had returned to the paddock after a cooling down lap and the engine had been turned off.
