Yeah I was happy with how my car went today on its first tour of stotfold. I think there is so much to come from the car it's just unfortunate that every time I have ran with it so far it's been in very low grip conditions, but its helped us get a good starting point.
Today we finished up shockwise:
Front - black spring, 35wt oil, champ pack pistons (#2)
Rear - black spring, 25wt oil, champ pack pistons (#1)
(no roll bars, or limiters)
We were geared on 21/81 with a Novak 5.5L
The car responds very well to changes, and is very sensitive to ride height and wheelbase in particular. We finished up on 24mm ride height all round and medium wheelbase, although the car is pretty good on long wheelbase if more steering is needed. On the inboard side, we have added washers to remove any motion forwards or back in the wishbone, and positioning of this washer enables inboard wheelbase adjustment which we have been running on long (washer in front of the wishbone), this give more stability across bumps and enables the car to rotate a little faster in the corners. We also found that running the rear block upside down to give more anti-squat is a good move too.
So far so good, next meeting is on carpet so that will be another school day I guess!
Tom
