hehe at least you got round clearways in one go! I, however, did not wink Your car went a lot better in the second race. That is proved by your lap times being quicker in the wet than in the dry! Nice one Alex smile

Cheers Dave appriciate the praise smile, I went round the inside lap befor and had a lil moment lol so opted for a wider line but still had a twitchy moment, all i remember was a screech looked in my mirror and saw you attempting a reverse into pits biggrin. I felt I was leraning more about the car but still needs about more ajustment at the back, you was running very well I must say and whoever buys your car is going to be very pleased with it too smile

I've probably said it a million times, but unless there is a significant and easily identifiable problem with the car dont mess about with it.

make sure everything is working as it should, and continally check the alignment to make sure nothing is moving, and learn to drive it. In the first year or so the biggest improvments come from the nut behind the wheel.

If you do want t spend some of the old mans money get someone like simon mason or even steve lewis to give you some instruction..

I totally agree with Graham - get some instruction Alex - both Tim Davis & I did before we raced proper and it's obviously paid some dividends (and it was Andy Race that organised it too!). It was only 4 years ago iirc!! biggrin

While we're on the subject I can also recommend Kieren Clark http://www.kierenclark.com/ & http://www.3ksracing.co.uk/drivercoaching.html he's based your way and Charlie used to be his Data Engineer at Scorpio in F.Renault

The back was rock solid and twitchy making it hard to put the power down G all we did was soften the dampers off abit and it made a difference, it needs tweeking with the bits we allready have im not saying im going to start putting stuff onto the car as I'm not lol, just playing with the tools I allready have availible to me and sorting the bits that are wrong out aswell will give me some advantage catching people, and yet why spend money on a instructor when i have one allready smile the tips sure made a difference at Brands lol

I agree with you Graham & Keith totally ! I think what Alex is on about is getting some neg camber on the front and getting the rear wheels to both point in the same direction !!!

Here's the onboard footage from the T350R for race 2. A fun race!

I'd like to say a big well done to Alex, not easy having a pack of dicing cars bearing down on you, thought he did brilliantly and got faster with each session on track.

No problem alex you listen and learn very quickly, but then my instruction is not limited to shouting power power power or faster faster faster all day from the passenger seat.

I still remember your first attempt at 14 on the hardwick industrial estate !!!!!!! how the clutch and driveshafts survived i will never know.
