Works ok for me.

Thanks everyone

The car is an absolute monster

. I think that video is of the actual first or second ever run the car did. I was in 3rd for those, and as you can hear abusing the limiter. So the next runs were 4th, and switch to 5th for Luffield. I really hope there's some clear video of those runs. They were slightly sloppy driving, but show the massive capability of the absolute weapon we have built

.

I cannot believe how well the car drives for something that was aligned by eye, and has never turned a wheel on tarmac before today. I just can't get across in text how absolutely chuffed I am with today. I didn't tweak anything, I didn't have to fix anything, all I did was drive, change tyres and refuel.
Tyres, yup 3 runs to a new set of tyres at 30psi

I think I'll try 11psi on Sunday

The torque is absolutely unbelievable, it pulls gears like nothing I've ever seen..

Unbelievable! Roll on Sunday. Kumakubo bring you A game

I reckon a few more laps and I'll have the cars handling characteristics dialled

Oh, did I mention how chuffed I am?

ragge · 30-05-2008, 21:59

wonder if you are running std supra gearbox, where 5th is 1:1...?

EDIT: read first post again
