Rockingham Build Up
Discussion
Thought i would start the ball rolling.
How is everyone with the change of venue?
Does anyone feel that this will be an advantage/disadvantage to their cars in respective classes?
I for one am looking forward to it, although i feel a new steering rack with more lock might be required to get our big bertha through the tight bits!

Really looking forward to getting back in the car after 5 month of racing inactivity, and Rockingham should suit us. We are GT class 3 this season and didn't race in the first one due to business commitments, I just hope the weather is pleasant, not that it worries us as drivers one way or another, but for all that have to sit on the pit wall or watch from the stands,may it be warm and sunny 
I should be there in the TVR Race with the Tuscan and although Im disappointed that we're not at Donny which I was looking forward to.. I still like Rockingham.. I always found Rockingham to be a very physical Track, bad enough in a non pas Tuscan for 20 mins so you boys better get down the Gym.
I'd have thought the biggest problem in a LWB car like the Mosler will be the 180 where you come off the banking onto the infield, with the camber change..

I used to love racing my Tuscan at Rockingham, wouldn't mind having it back for the race weekend, stick a big tank in it and give the moslers something to think about, those were the days 
Remember to accelerate off the wall for I found out the hard way that lifting for the turn off just sucks you in, lost 3 mirrors and a door through not learning that one quick enough

Anyone know if the production cars will be getting a garage to use this weekend?
I'd very much like to know this as well as its extremely difficult for us to make any setup changes without a level surface to work on and our data systems don't work too well without power for PC's and monitors!! Cheers

Should be an interesting weekend. An awful lot of work carried out to the car this week after testing last Friday. So I hope that the car will be a very different animal than it was. My wrists still ache. Anyone have a clue as to what a good time around the rock is, we'll be class 2, cheers guys and girls looking forward to the weekend.

A good time for you to aim at from my point of view is the high 1:30's ;-)chrisb0 said:
