How did you get on at Blyton yesterday? Did everything run sweetly with the new set up?

thanks for asking tony

yes was a very positive day with a few lows!

have to say it worked straight out of box which considring how how we changed was amazing,
first few laps felt ok but defo needed some work with brake bias,

i set a good time in practice then logan asked for a pass ride,sitting on line i said to him dont worry i wont kill you!! words again ill live to regret.

2nd and 3rd corner no rear grip,then on to long straight before chicane,flat in 4th in to 5th,slow down for chicane but it locks a rear wheel and pushes me straight on in to cones and bollards,

this rips oil cooler off,bumper,splitter,side skirt and puts a hole in rear door!,any way back to pits and dannys busy,few hours later and we out again but still with massive brake issues

after this vid we decided time to go home before i do some major damage

That looked like a heart stopping moment. I bet both you and Logan both left skid marks

What's causing the lack of rear grip? Is it to do with all the weight that's been removed from the rear and needs more down force to keep the rear planted or do you think it's just a set up problem?
Apart from the bias problem do the new Alcons feel much better than the Ksports?

Butt clenching or what? Gutted for you after all the effort you ve made.

i think grip with major difference in track width when we had to remove 25mm spacer on just rear,i prob should have removed front too

the brakes is a issue with master cylinder sizes but a easy fix and test again

Gutted for you, after all the time and effort that has gone into this awesome beast. Testing is such a problem unless you can afford to spend about
