THERE WERE A LOT OF DOUBTERS WITH

ONLY 10 WEEKS TO GET IT TOGETHER WITH ALL THE OTHER THINGS

GOING ON AROUND US . WE MISSED THE FRIDAY SESSIONS BUT MADE A LATE

APPEARANCE IN PREPERATION FOR SATURDAY . THE CAR PERFORMED

FLAWLESSLY ALL DAY WITH ABSOLUTELY NO

PROBLEMS AND LEFT THE TRACK IN PERFECT CONDIDITON . ALL POWER

AND TORQUE FIGURES WERE ACHIEVED FIRST GO .

WE MADE A DIFF GEAR SWAP FRIDAY MORNING AS WE CALCULATED THAT

WE WOULD RUN OUT OF RPMS HALF WAY DOWN THE MAIN STRAIGHT . 3.0

WENT IN THE ASS END , BUT WE NEEDED MORE LIKE A 2.6 - 1 RATIO DUE TO THE MUCH

LOWER HEIGHT OF THE TYRES AS COMPARED TO A V8 SUPERCAR .

FIRST TEST SESSION SHOWED THAT THE CAR MADE WAY TOO MUCH TORQUE AND

WAY TOO MUCH FRONT WHEEL CAMBER AS IT TORE THE INSIDE OF THE TIRES TO

SHREDS . STILL A 1.41.80 LAP TIME WAS ACHIEVED AFTER 5 LAPS AFTER NO TESTING.

SECOND SESSION - A ROLL CENTRE ADJUSTMENT WITH FRONT CAMBER PULLED OUT WE

CHOPPED OFF 1.5 SECONDS AND NEARLY DIPPED INTO THE 1.39 S . THE FINAL SESSION

WE PULLED OUT SOME POWER IN THE MID CORNER AREAS TO DECREASE TORQUE AND SOME

TIRE PRESSURE ADJUSTMENTS WERE MADE . WE SUCCESSFULLY PULLED OUT MORE

PERFORMANCE  EVEN THOUGH THE TRACK LOST SOME 2-3 SECONDS PER LAP DUE TO THE

COLDER TRACK SURFACE , AND STILL MANAGED A 1.40 SECOND LAP . A VERY SUCCESSFUL

OUTING WITH ONLY 15 LAPS .

OVER THE COMING MONTHS WE A DOING TESTING IN ORDER TO GET THE CAR READY TO

FOR SOME INTERNATIONAL EVENTS . STAY TUNED FOR MORE NEWS DOWN THE TRACK .
