Looks like you had great conditions to test the new upgrades Hope the shake down went well and the recent niggles are a distant memory

Brad it obviously helped that after you cleaned the windows, I could see where I was going ;).

Below are the 1st and 2nd laps after the McLaren got by!   To me, he should have been long gone with the Aston bearing back down on me  ::) !!
All the best Clive

When did you change your steering wheel ?
Car runs brilliantly

Thanks Wayne,
Did the wheel last December.
Steve donated a steering wheel he had laying around, then I bought the hub and quick release, then Steve machined bits so I could get the wheel sitting exactly where I wanted it to

Small dab of threadlock on the bolts for wheel to hub. All my cars with aftermarket steering wheels come loose over time.
