Sorry for the lack of posts, work and home life have meant very little spare time, and what spare time i have found i have been using it up on the car! So although the blog has stopped for a while, the racing and car development have not.
Since the last update there have been 4 race (2 double headers) at Brands and Snetterton. I haven’t got time or the memory to go back through all this, but below are the videos and photos of the events.

To sum up, the car has been working very well with no major incidents since Mallory, and i have managed 3 3rds and a 4th in class, so results wise i’m where i was hoping i would be. Although this doesn’t tell the entire story, i am off the pace from Al, Derek and now Paul Rickers (who has suddenly got a rocket up his arse!!). I’d say 90% of this is down to me, a distinct lack of skill, plus i’m struggling to be smooth now that i’m carrying a bit more pace into the corners, and using and exploiting the extra ponies wisely is an issue, as is my gear changes going down the box. In an attempt to gain the 10% we are develop the car, adding some aero aids and trying to improve the handling through setup changes.
