Rockingham in the wet

Post by Pike »

Tried something different with settings in qualifying.
As you can tell from my starting position it didnt work. It's a shame it rained as I was under the lap record by nearly a second on the Friday morning. 2nd and 3rd in class are useful points. Next stop Oulton.

Great start, how much could you see? looked really tricky to pick a braking point into that first corner.

And nice catch :)

It was a little damp under foot....

Couldnt see alot on the first couple of laps.
I was finding it difficult to pick a breaking point for the first hairpin in the dry. The tried and tested method of braking at the "R" on the wall was a little early for the golf in the wet as it was bearly hitting 110mph so resulted in just passed the R.

For the wet I was trying a different line for nearly every lap. Alot of grip in the middle of the track on the approach. First lap tactic was to break in avoidance of any one.
