Well car is no longer a virgin. Managed to beg some track time at Motorsports Park Hasting this afternoon. Car ran great, sounded actually better than my old car with a bypass and didn't have too bad of times for a 50* day on old used tires. On the runs I logged the data logger had me just under 1:45 some one there said they hand timed me at around 1:43
This car is a blast to drive. It is extremely neutral with perhaps just a touch of understeer if you push a bit too hard in the corners. For the most part however the car just gently drifts out the harder you push it. I had no wheel rub issues and the car seemed to stay very flat. The tire wear on the slicks appeared to be pretty even. There was some debate about my camber setting being so low. The rear is set to zero degrees and the front is around 1*. The braking is just stupendous. So much so that generally was slowed way before the corner and was needing to reacelerate into the turn. It will take some time to build confidence to do in a little deeper than I am used to. Because of todays track setup I did not push the car as hard as I might however I did get a pretty good feel for it. It will take some seat time to even come close to getting the potential that I think the car will utimately have.
Backing off a bit and the car is still fast I guess I didn't check the data logger for g-forces something to look at tomorrow but I am really glad for the seat support and the 6 point harness.
It is really fun to see something I have put so much time into actually work well.
Whooooo Hooooooo.............
