New season is here :)

Couple of small changes this year, they are now a 15 min pracrice/quali and now a 45 minute race with a green flag lap (the final instructions say so anyway). We are being sponsored by Toyo, it's not made their tyres compulsory but it's rude not to use them.

 

Car feels great after I corner weighted it, gave a it a service and put some new pads in 

Other thing I did was stick a new sticker on it.

First race is this Saturday at Donington, can't wait.

Good luck! Donington is a great circuit, especially Craner which is definitely flat (unless it's raining). Have you been there before? Testing on Friday?

 I can't remember if I was flat last time but I'll keep that in mind. Just hope I get on with the R888R quickly. 15 minutes is about 6-7 laps :/

I did a day last summer and then tracked the Noble there a month later. Never done the longer circuit though.

No I'm not testing :(

 

The competitor list doesn't say which cars are in which class so I don't know my competition.

Failed scrutineering (well passed me as long as I fixed it before tomorrow)  I knew it was going to be a hard one when he started talking about door bars straight away.

He didn't like my rear towing eye though and wanted a long strap, luckily another competitor was listening in and had an old one I could have. The rear now looks like this.

Door bars? Shows how much he knows. You dont need door bars to comply because of the design of the chassis and that rear strap thing is absolute crap. He didnt like your MSA approved rear tow eye :D

Thankfully he took my word for it on the door bars.

I told him it was approved but he didn't like how fare under it was.

 

What pressure did we run on the rainsports?  Making the decision at 10am
