Hi guys,

First time on dirt today. Wait, I thought it was supposed to be grass? Oh yeah it was grass, for a minute then it was clear that dirt was taking precedence... On the wrong tyres...

Anyway, up until round 3 (included) out of 4, car was good, maybe a bit tricly on the dirt but I found out you could make up a lot of time by keeping very close to the apex where there was still grass with no holes (with dirt in them instead of grass).

Then found out in round 4 that there wasn't anymore grass to be found there and found myself with a car that had no rear end grip (spikes don't work on dirt). Made big setup adjustments for the finals and they paid off as I was back on a decent pace, even though I could have still done with a touch more traction.

No breakages to report, the molded gearbox (repaired from the last race with superglue !) held up well in the heat and the 6 minutes final. Still want to test a different material for them however.
