We will be competing in round two of the GT Cup this Saturday at Oulton Park. After the last round at Silverstone were hoping the car performs just as well as it did! The data logger is now fitted with all the correct sensors.

Nothing has been changed on the car or upgraded as it was brilliant at Silverstone anyway!

Looks like it could be wet wich will be intresting, all the Fezzas have traction control etc which will give them an advantage in the wet.

As allways would be great to see some friendly faces in the paddock.

Quali 8.30 am
Race 1 11.30am
Race 2 3.20 pm

Cheers

Mike

Good luck Mike. See you in the morning with your stickers smile

Did I read somewhere that in addition to the data logger, they said your car was 5kg underweight? Put some more petrol in it wink

We were 3.4 kg under what we should have been. However they told us to add 30kg to the car an hour before the first race!! We have done it properly now and were 14.7kg over wieght. Rather be safe than sorry!!

Thanks for the support guys!

See, and I was going to add something clean like "Best of Luck with MSA - They're your biggest opponent" ....

I was re-watching how well the rear of the Cerb stuck to the road on the exit of a particular left-hander, compared to the Fezz-sches at Silverstone - Superb Sir.

You won't need luck in the race !

....and then Mrs P buggers it all up by mentioning being covered in full wet gear herself.

'Scuse me I'm going for a shower....hehe


ETA
I heard that this race was going to be televised on 27th - D'you know anymore ??

Yep, best of luck mike.

I can't help thinking though that watching your video of the first round you still have quite a roll on the car through the corners, and the back of the car looks a little low.

You also look to be fighting some understeer problems when you come on the power out of the bends.

It looks like the back of your car has a good deal more grip than the front.
