Ran emulsion in the rear only at the last meeting - TBH I couldn't feel much difference - made the change part way through the day and did go faster in the end but can't for sure say it was purely cutting the bladders that gave me the extra pace. Maybe a slight improvement but not conclusive - hence the testing today.

I actually think that I found more pace when I stopped driving it like Miss Daisy and actually started to race it. For sure, I prefer to be smooth and I don't think it likes being mashed hard with the throttle but when I actually started driving it with more commitment into the corners and stopped being scared of making a mistake, I found that it actually gripped harder and for longer than I thought it would and so I went faster overall. It also seemed to land the jumps better when I had more commitment into and over them. Like I say - not maybe purely down to the bladders but that was the major thing I changed during the day.
HTH
