Took the car out last sunday for the first meeting and did not do to bad the first race i started at the back of the grid with 22 cars and got a last :( The car was pushing on a bit so made some changes to suspention and tracking settings for the second race and lined back up at the back and got a 6th :D then for the final i got a 5th so not a bad first meeting :D Only got a couple of scuffs so no major dammage

And i just looked and i also got some points

Cheers Stuart the door bars will protect me well in the event of someone going into the drivers door. It would be ok at an autotest night if you only go round right hand bends as the car wont go round left hand beds very well as the camber and caster is all setup to turn right
