Heres a youtube link to a short video of the first test session of my project at our local track test day. Crank up the volume and remember it not about the lines but all about a mechanical shakedown to see whats needed next

That track seemed to get shorter with each lap. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
How long did it take for you to stop shaking after you got out of the car? |

Chris, I actually surprised myself with self control, I don't know weather it was that it was a test session and I was expected to give some kind of feedback to those helpers on the pit wall, but the usual shaking knee didn't appear even after the feedback from the brake pedal. I think things will be very different come race day though. As you can see I was backing out at the two thirds down the straights points not knowing what was going to happen when I hit that pedal ( it turned out to be the front caster arm / control arm not tight enough ) it'll be a while till I get out there again as I don't want to run it with that turbo and do damage to the engine. |
