So, after the RallySprint (which was great fun! Thanks to mutch for epic Coaching skills) I can now see the value in the handling upgrades. It was good to get out onto a real track / real event to really understand how the car is performing and where I should look to make up time. It may not be the most powerful GC8 around but we can work on it bit by bit
So, I am entering again for the March RallySprint with Mitch once again. Before it I hope to have some better brakes, and front and rear sway bars, and to replace my 2 shitter dunlop tyres with RE002 Bridgestones to match the fronts.
My times at this stage were 3:16, 3:12, 3:09. Waiting on the last time still, but I predict about 3:04.
