So it's been a few days since updating on here...
Popped over to Braknell Radio Car Coub Monday evening, what a great little club that is. Only a small track, but the guys are super welcoming and offer some really competitive fun. Always 8 or more GT12 drivers.
I managed to qualify for my first A Final, and I have to say. It's truly the first time where fettling with my car actually provided a serious improvement to the cats performance. With lap times getting better, and I even had a few laps leading the A Final before the euphoria took over and I got passed!
Since then, I have got spending, and upgraded my spur, stuck with the 70T but an RW one. Upgraded the balls, associated grease along with a 15K damper oil for what I'm hoping, a bit less chassis roll.
The decision to get the superstox over the zen is now becoming clear. Really enjoying the hop ups and all the various tweeks available with this car and it's providing so much fun and competitive racing.
The body roll aspect seems to be a slight issue at the moment, the car does feel a little like a high sided Luton can at times (I don't like to exaggerate) which I think loses my ability to get enough speed through corners. I watched the video quite a few times I posted, and you can see my car looks far more lateral roll compared to those passing me. Before you say, it's because they a cornering better, but I believe that's a cause and affect scenario not the other way around... We'll see!!
Anyhow, that's where I'm at, will keep on trucking!
