Abingdon? I know that layout - I was considering going too but I've still got some adjustments to make to the drive-train and suspension.

sounds IMMENSE!

ooh, sounds like an angry bear, I like that.

what's with the twisty steering in the corners, grip on the front tyres or alignment?
or just to much for the rear wheels, although once pointed straight it really goes and the grip seems good with that power.

Yeah, like stink! Jon, I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to be trying to do wheelies, on a road course!

Best,

That is a proper bit of kit !

It does have a problem tho; on the 'road-video' it says 'slow' in the road, but it does not appear to do slow...........

(congrats & have fun !)

I think I saw your TR in Kevins (Zero's) when The Vixen was being Exhausted.
That looked good to.

Nearly as quick as one of those FIA cars Jon.

Seriously it very tractable considering how many small american ponies it has. It will be good to see you driving it as hard as your TR.

It is really controlable once tyres are warm. Can hang it out more easily than the peaky TR6. Stops great now BG recommended some alternate pad to what I had in there. Spring rates and rollbar seem spot on (helps picking the right people for these).

Few minor things and should be ready for MG Festival (rear tyres for one).


Yep was the TR6 at Kevins - lovely job he did. Nice Vixen btw.

These were from the slow first run you had to do behind a pace car to show which way the corners went - hence skinny wets.
