I think I'm cursed. Too much work still to do today so I won't be going tomorrow.

Hopefully next week :roll:

:lol: yes you will get a small increase in power, but the track is very cold so no grip.

Plus it's not good for humans either :lol:

Gotta go, no time to talk ;)

To be honest I'm a bit over the whole process at the moment. Way too much work for way too much frustration...

So the positives;
the suspension changes held up, even after a 100+kmh spin off sideways into the dirt at turn 3... was shitting myself it was gonna dig in and roll...

negatives;
struggled with grip, especially in the rear. the 22mm sway bar in the rear may be too much.
tuning was going well, the problem I had at Bathurst didn't appear to be present, until mid afternoon...
No PB, was around 5secs off the times I was doing last time I was at WP!

So I still don't know what's wrong with the car since Bathurst. So that rules us out for the V8 Supercar round at EC this month.

Unlikely I'll be racing again this year. Will focus on trying to figure out what's wrong with the engine/electronics/fuel/???; get the tune right; get the suspension setup right; and some brake modifications including modifying the brake lines to fit an adjustable bias valve for the rear brakes. Try and get the car perfect for next year.

Next time I go to WP I'll be picking a double track day and stay overnight. Too much work for just one day.

Sorry to hear things didn't go too smoothly :(
I guess that's the nature of the game though

Yes, WP is too far and you really hope to have a good time to make sure all the effort is worth it. Otherwise, you be just heading home, grumbling...
