As Alec said, I only tried his car a week ago at Stotfold and straight away I found it very balanced and easy to drive. I was able to do consistent lap times and focus on trying to go quicker rather than having to react to the car every time it found a bump.
I was a little concerned when I turned up at Eden Park on the Friday afternoon to find the track was very wet and it had a lots of puddles on it.
However on Saturday morning the sun was out and the track was already starting to dry. I did both practice runs on Schumacher Silver spikes all round and tbh I found the car handling to not be that bad and certainly didn't think it was any slower than the cars around me.
By the time I was ready to go out for Round 1, the track conditions were almost ready for yellows but there were still a few damp patches. I took the gamble and put a new set of Schumacher yellows on and cut staggers on the front. I made 2 errors in the run on the 1st and last laps which was annoying but still posted a top 20 time.
The track got dryer and dryer throughout the day and despite not making any setup changes to the car apart from tyres, my times kept coming down. I finally managed a clean run in Round 4 and went 5th in round.
I was very happy with the car all day and I am sure that after a few more meetings and more track time before the next round at Broxtowe it will be even quicker.
I would like to thank Alec Springer (Team C/SMD) for the help in getting the car ready for the national and the loan of his car the week before. I would also like to thank RC Domination for providing me with a sponsorship deal this year which allows me to choose the best cars to run.
Thanks DC
I don't know to much about the car at the moment but if anyone has any questions then please just ask and ill try my best to answer them.
My setup should be in the Team C TM2 section of Petit RC Setups website this week.
