Car was awesome today, thoroughly thrashed all day and was absolutely perfect when I put her on the trailer after 130 miles of track driving!
Probably one of, if not the fastest car all day! Especially when the track dried out and we chucked the slicks on! Shame that was short lived as the front left rubbed on the inner arch and wore it down to the canvas! had to put the 'wets' back on.
John did a great job of having it set up when he owned it, really well balanced and handles really well.
