I can’t believe how much of an influence the wind direction and speed made to these cars. The greatest differences I noticed was in race 1 I could hit the limiter just before turn 1 but the infield right handers were tricky, then in race 2 the wind made gave so much grip in these same right handers and in the last race I could only get 2/3 into the rev range before turn 1! There wasn’t a lot of difference in the ultimate last times but how you made the lap times changed during the night which made the driving rather difficult and extremely challenging. Despite what the results say, I found this night rather difficult and was driving on a knifes edge every lap to extract my speed. In the final race I had a little spin in the infield section and Joe was able to capatolise from my mistake and I ran out of laps to try and catch him.

I really struggled with spins in the slow, 1st gear corners. I find breaking in this car hard at the best of times, but the downshifting to 1st really killed me, kicking the rear out. And of course the more I spun, the sadder the rear tyres got.

I experienced the 1st gear spinning thingy in testing and found that braking longer before downshifting at a much lower rpm with a decent throttle blip fixed this. That rear tyre issue did my head in during my disastrous round 1 where I did a lot of spinning and found that the tyres took a decent calm lap or two before they could be leant on again. These certainly are challenging beasts to drive.

Sorry just saw the question on sparks and ride height. Mine was stock ride height.

Don’t stress mate, seanus gave some technical justification which basically said that it wasn’t relevant  ;D
