The most frustrating thing about my grip rolls on both days of the weekend is I never ended up back on my wheels, everytime I needed a marshall. One of my grip rolls in 2wd cost me dearly as I'd have been around 25th in round. It's a new car and most of us won't have had near the track the time that top guys will have had with the car. We just need to persevere and ride the learning curve.
Yeah same heat Allan. I messed up round one with my own errors. Sat out round two because the rain ruined our heat didn't it , then did the 34 and crashed again a few times in the last quali for a 50 odd placing. Think I finished F4. Last year I was C3 with a TM2 v1. That didn't feel as nimble or as special but was far easier to predict. Someone punted me off in the final with 30 secs left at an apex or else I'd have finished second behind Kyle. Thanks for that . I feel your pain mate. Felt like I was driving at only 6 tenths pace all day because the car was so edgy. Kudos to Lee and Tom. They made it look so smooth. Personally think it would be a lot easier to drive with a slightly longer wheelbase. It feels very similar to how the SV1 did before they released the +8mm chassis to me. Clearly it's very capable in the right hands as it is but I wouldn't say it felt easy to drive with my setup. Let's hope the arms and extra weight make the difference !
