Hi guys,

Back from the Petit, my what a week end !

Nathan was unlucky in qualifying, as he lost round 3 to a bad setup move, and then round 4 was ruined by bad servo tape, his speedo came off and turned the switch off twice. So he qualified 1st in the C with his round 2 time. Definately had much more pace than that, possibly A final pace, but that's racing.

As for me, I was pole in the D after a bad last round, I lost out on the C for less than 1s, doh! I loved every second of driving the car, with the staggered up front, it was easy to drive, I could push hard and it wouldn't bite. My fastest lap was a 18.43 in the final, with the top guys doing low 18s high 17s, that's not bad going. And also, last year I was in the E, 2 laps down on TQ, this year in the D only just a lap down.

Also, I've made new contacts, and we may have hard anodising after all, also molded gearboxes seem a possibility now. So I'm waiting on feedback on these two details before anything will happen with the car. I'm also going to see with Phat Bodies if it would be possible do have a slighty amended shell, to accomodate the new longer layshaft.

So this means, maybe a little more delays, but it's all for the best guys, don't grow impatient !
